If you refer to this link and the question, it's this same question, this is the last part of the 4 part question .



The equivalence relation $sim$ is defined as:
$$textsf{For }x,yin A,xsim ytextsf{ if and only if there exists }Uin Ctextsf{ such that }xin Utextsf{ and }yin U$$



I have to prove that $[a] = U $ given that: $$a in Atextsf{ and }U in Ctextsf{ such that }a in U$$ I mentioned that the definition of a partition says that: $$textsf{For all }a in Atextsf{ there exists }U in Ctextsf{ such that }a in U$$... but I'm not sure where to go from here.

  • I assume you are trying to show a step in the problem of showing that partitions are effectively equivalence relations and vice versa on a set. I further assume that you have some specific equivalence relation $sim$ for your specific partition $C$. You are likely intended to show that the equivalence class $[a]$ is equal to the part $U$. There is a big difference between "$[a]in U$" and "$[a]=U$."

This is a sequal to question Prove that $sim$ is an equivalence relation on the set $A$



In that you prove that $x,y$ belonging to the same partitioning set is an equivalence relation.



Here you are asked to prove if $ain$ the partitioning set $U$ that:



$[a] ={xin A| asim x} = U$.



As $a in Usubset A$ and that is distinct ($a$ is not in any other partitioning set) then



$[a] ={xin A| asim x}= {xin A| a, x in U} = {xin A|xin U} = {x in U} = U$.



That's all.
