For the function f : Z18 → Ze defined as f(r) = 4x+1 mod 6. Consider the relation R on the set Z18 defined as rRy when f(x) = f(y). Show that this relation is: (a) reflexive; (b) symmetric; (c) transitive; this will prove that R is an equivalence relation; finally (d) calculate its equivalence classes.
