Exercise 13

Avg difficulty 3.0

Show that each of these is an equivalence on the set of 2 ⁣× ⁣22\!\times\!2 matrices. Describe the equivalence classes.

  • Two matrices are related if they have the same product down the diagonal, that is, if the product of the entries in the upper left and lower right are equal.

  • Two matrices are related if they both have at least one entry that is a 11, or if neither does.
