HW: p odd, odd

2. Is this statement true?
This identity is a true sentence, but only
with the qualification that x must be in the
domain of both expressions.
If either side of the equality is undefined (i.e., at x = –1), then
the entire expression is meaningless!!!
The statement is a trigonometric identity
because it is true for all values of the variable for which both
sides of the equation are defined.
The set of all such values is called the domain of validity of
the identity.
