To explain: The difference between verifying an identity and solving an equation
Answer to Problem 113E
Verifying an identity means checking if the expressions on both the sides of the equation are equal or not.
Solving an equation means finding a missing value in the equation.
Explanation of Solution
Verifying an identity means checking if the expressions on both the sides of the equation are equal or not. On the other hand, solving an equation means finding a missing value in the equation.
An example of verifying the identity is as follows:
After simplifying, the expressions on both sides become equal. Hence the identity is verified.
An example of solving an equation is as follows:
The value of
