Proposition: Functions Constitute Equivalence Relations

Let $f:A\mapsto B$ be a function. A relation "$\sim$" defined by $x\sim y:\Leftrightarrow f(x)=f(y)$ is an equivalence relation. In particular, the domain $A$ can be partitioned into the quotient set $A/_{f}$ of elements in $A$ having the same image in $B.$
