Specifying Domain Constraints

Many identities and transformations are valid for only a particular domain. For example:

Use the

with

operator to specify the domain constraint.

-

Substituting for more general
expressions (either

m

ø

c

2

=e

or

c

2

ø

m=e

) may not work as you

anticipate.

Note:

Use the

solve

function to help determine

the single-variable substitution.

ln(x

y) = ln(x) + ln(y)

only if

x

and/or

y

is

not negative

Sin

-

1(sin(

q

)) =

q

only if q ‚ Lp

/2

and q

 p

/2

radians

Because ln(x

y) = ln(x) + ln(y)

is not always valid,

the logarithms are not combined.

With a constraint, the identity is valid and the
expression is simplified.
