Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalence relation R satisfies

  • Reflexivity: for all x on the underlying set in which R is defined, (x,x)∈R, or xRx.
  • Symmetry: For all x,y, if xRy then yRx.
  • Transitivity: For all x,y,z, If xRy and yRz then xRz.

Let's check these properties: Let x,y,z be bit strings of length three or more

The first 3 bits of x are, of course, the same 3 bits of x, hence xRx.

If xRy, then then the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits of x are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits of y respectively. Then y agrees with x on its first third bits (by symmetry of equality), hence yRx.

If xRy and yRz, x agrees with y on its first 3 bits and y agrees with z in its first 3 bits. Therefore x agrees with z in its first 3 bits (by transitivity of equality), hence xRz.
