Suppose that $A$ is a nonempty set, and $f$ is a function that has $A$ as its domain. Let $R$ be the relation on $A$ consisting of all ordered pairs $(x, y)$ such that $f(x)=f(y)$ . a) Show that $R$ is an equivalence relation on $A$ . b) What are the equivalence classes of $R ?$

Equivalence Relations
Which one of the following relations on $R$ is an equivalence relation? (a) a $\mathrm{R}_{1} \mathrm{~b} \Leftrightarrow|\mathrm{a}|=|\mathrm{b}|$ (b) a $\mathrm{R}_{2} \mathrm{~b} \Leftrightarrow \mathrm{a} \geq \mathrm{b}$ (c) a $\mathrm{R}_{3} \mathrm{~b} \Leftrightarrow$ a divides $\mathrm{b}$ (d) a $\mathrm{R}_{4} \mathrm{~b} \Leftrightarrow \mathrm{a}<\mathrm{b}$
