Domain of an
Equation
The domain of an expression (or
equation) is the set of all real
values of the variable for which
every term (or part) of the
expression (equation) is defined
in R.
Consider the following expressions:
𝑥 𝑥
2 𝑥+1 , √ 𝑥 −1 ,
2
,
𝑥 2 −3 𝑥 − 4 √ 𝑥 −1
What are the real values of the variable
that make the expressions defined in the
set of real numbers?
 Example: Determine the domain of the
expression/equation

(a) - (c)

Identity and
Conditional Equation
Consider the following two groups of
equations:
Group A Group B
Consider the following two groups of
equations:
Group A Group B
An identity is an equation that is
true for all values of the variable
in the domain of the equation.
An equation that is not an
identity is called a conditional
Example: Identify whether the given equation
is an identity or a conditional equation. For
each conditional equation, provide a value of
the variable in the domain that does not
satisfy the equation.

Identities
Recall that if P(x, y) is the terminal point on
the unit circle corresponding to 0, then we
have:
From the definitions, the following
reciprocal and quotient identities
immediately follow. Note that these
identities hold if is taken either as a
real number or as an angle.
