Transcribed Image Text:14. Define the concept of an equivalent relation. A relation R is defined on the set Z, of integers,
by:a R b a- a= b² – b. show that R is an equivalence relation. Write down 3 elements of
the relation R, where a R b but a + b.

g: x→3x +2,x E R.
a) Express, in a similar manner, the function (gf)-1
b) Obtain an element in the domain of g which is invariant under g.
