It's just definitions:



Let $(x,y) in I(A) circ R$. This means by definition that there is some $z in A$ such that $(x,z) in I(A)$ and $(z,y) in R$.



But $(x,z) in I(A)$ means that actually by necessity $z=x$ and so the second fact gives us $(x,y) = (z,y) in R$. So $I(A) circ R subseteq R$



The proof that $R circ I(B) subseteq R$ is similar.



The reverse inclusions are also obvious: if $(x,y) in R$ we can take $z=x$ to note that the pairs $(x,x) in I(A), (x,y)in R$ show that $(x,y) in I(A) circ R$ and similarly for the $I(B)$ case again.

But $(x,z) in I(A)$ means that actually by necessity $z=x$ and so the second fact gives us $(x,y) = (z,y) in R$. So $I(A) circ R subseteq R$



The proof that $R circ I(B) subseteq R$ is similar.



The reverse inclusions are also obvious: if $(x,y) in R$ we can take $z=x$ to note that the pairs $(x,x) in I(A), (x,y)in R$ show that $(x,y) in I(A) circ R$ and similarly for the $I(B)$ case again.
