First, what is an identity?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

If it is an identity, the equation is true for all values of x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An equation is an identity when it is true for all of the possible values of the variable in the domain.

mathmate probably just gave you the answer then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mathmate):

If it is not true (i.e. false), then you only need ONE counter-example to show that it is false. Find one and you're done.
