Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG2.45 Verifying Equivalent Expressions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Suppose a student simplifies E1 - E2 and gets 0 for every x in the stated domain. What can the student conclude?
AE1 and E2 are equivalent on that stated domain.
BE1 and E2 are equivalent only at x = 0.
CThe result is not useful because subtraction hides differences.
DThe student still needs at least ten table values before deciding.
Solution & Explanation:If the difference is 0 for every allowed input, then the two expressions have the same value throughout the stated domain.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
What is the best plan for verifying whether sqrt((2x - 6)2) and 2x - 6 are equivalent?
AAssume they are equivalent because squaring and square rooting always cancel.
BRewrite the square root as abs(2x - 6) and identify the domain x >= 3 where it matches 2x - 6.
CTest x = 3 only because one value is enough.
DExpand (2x - 6)2 and compare coefficients only.
Solution & Explanation:The square root gives abs(2x - 6), so the sign of 2x - 6 determines the domain where equivalence holds.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
How should you compare x/sqrt(x2) and 1 over all nonzero real numbers?
AThey are equivalent because x and sqrt(x2) always cancel.
BThey are equivalent only when x > 0, so they are not equivalent over all nonzero reals.
CThey are not equivalent because 1 is undefined when x < 0.
DThey are equivalent only when x < 0.
Solution & Explanation:When x < 0, sqrt(x2) = abs(x) = -x, so x/sqrt(x2) = -1 rather than 1.
