*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ =\ 1\,\cdot\,x]


Read: &quot;*[tex \Large x] is &lt;i&gt;equal&lt;/i&gt; to 1 times *[tex \Large x]&quot; is more correctly written


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ \equiv\ 1\,\cdot\,x]


which is read: &quot;*[tex \Large x] is &lt;i&gt;identical&lt;/i&gt; to 1 times *[tex \Large x]&quot; This more appropriate language should give you a huge clue as to the correct answer to your question.  If you still don&#39;t get it, notice the similarity between the words &quot;identical&quot; and &quot;identity&quot;.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
