Find Equivalence Classes and the quotient set defined by the relationship in Reals.
$begingroup$
$xTyiff |x^{2}-2|=|y^{2}-2|$
I'd love to solve it but we don't deal in absolutes. Joke aside I have no clue where to start with this one, it has me stumped.
If I had been provided the answer to the problem I could just bump around until I got there but its not the case.
$x^{2}-y^{2}=0 rightarrow (x+y)(x-y)=0 rightarrow x=y lor x=-y$
Is the only thing that I can scavenge from this, but I doubt it covers all the classes, thus I can't even begin to partition the set.
$cl(x)={xin R:x,-x,x-2,2-x}$ But I'm not sure x-2 and 2-x counts in general I think it's only valid if x=0.

Work out the cases when expressions in absolutes are positive and negative. For each, you'll get one class, $2$ in total, if I'm not mistaken. You can draw the graphs of each to get the visual representation of $x$ being related to $y$.

Well if we fix $k in mathbb R$ then
the equivalence class $[k]$ is by definition ${xin mathbb R: |x^2 -2| = |k^2 - 2|}$.
Now if $|x^2 - 2| = |k^2 - 2|$ then a) $x^2 -2 = k^2-2$ or b) $x^2 - 2 = -(k^2 -2) = 2-k^2$.
a) $x^2 - 2 = k^2 -2implies x^2 = k^2 implies x =pm k$.
b) $x^2 - 2 = 2-k^2 implies x^2 = 4 -k^2implies |k| le 2$ and $x=pm sqrt{4-k^2}$.
So $[k]={xin mathbb R: |x^2 -2| = |k^2 - 2|}=$
$={k, -k}$ if $|k| > 2$ and $= {k,-k, sqrt{4-k^2}, -sqrt{4-k^2}}$ if $|k| le 2$
=====
Note: All of this assumes $T$ is an equivalence relation in the first place.

Work out the cases when expressions in absolutes are positive and negative. For each, you'll get one class, $2$ in total, if I'm not mistaken. You can draw the graphs of each to get the visual representation of $x$ being related to $y$.
