Practice Identifying an Equation as Conditional, an Identity, or a Contradiction


Instructions:

Answer 7/10 questions correctly to pass.

Solve each equation and state whether the equation is conditional, an identity, or a contradiction.

Note: For an answer of "identity" or "contradiction", nothing further is needed.

Note: For an answer of "conditional", select the answer type (fraction or integer), and enter the solution. All fraction answers must be simplified.

Note: For a negative fraction, use -a/b or a/-b. Using a/b or -a/-b will be treated as a positive fraction.

Identifying Types of Equations:

  1. A conditional equation is true only under certain conditions
    • x = a specific number
  2. An identity is true for all real numbers
    • A true statement without variables
    • 0 = 0 (true)
  3. A contradiction is never true
    • A false statement without variables
    • 2 = 7 (false)
