Equality
of
literal
expressions
E.1927
Method
definition
:
To
show
that
two
expressions
are
different
,
,
we
show
that
for
a
value
of
x
,
their
evaluation
gives
distinct
values.
This
number
is
then
called
a
counterexample
to
the
equality
.
Establish
that
the
following
equalities
are
false
:
a

E.7927
Definition:
Two
expressions
are
equal
if
they
have
the
same
value,
regardless
of
the
value
of
x
(This
is
referred
to
as
identity)
.
Method
:
To
establish
an
identity,
we
expand
and
sim-plify
each
expression
to
show
that
they
have
the
same
ex-panded
simplified
expression
.
Establish
that
the
following
identities
are
true
:
a
(2
x
−
1)(1
−
x
)
=
−
2
x

Justify
that
the
expressions

not
equal.

the

Evaluate
the

2
Are
the
two
expressions
A
and
B
equal
for
all
values
of

?
Justify
your
assertion.
E.7928
Consider

Using
