  1. Identities, Contradictions and Conditional Equations

  2. Conditional Equations A conditional equation is true for certain values of the variable and false for others. When we think of solving an equation and getting an answer, we are thinking about a conditional equation. This equation is only true on the condition that x = 5.

  3. Contradictions A contradiction is never true. It is false for every value of the variable. 3 can never = 5 This is a contradiction; it has no solution.

  4. Identities An identity is always true. It is true for every value of the variable. 3 always equals 3 This is an identity; it is true for all real numbers.
