Compare Two Concepts You Keep Mixing Up
Prompt
The two concepts I keep mixing up: {{CONCEPT_A}} and {{CONCEPT_B}}
Course level: {{COURSE_LEVEL}}
Where I get confused (optional): {{WHERE_I_GET_CONFUSED}}
Give me:
1. A one-sentence definition of each, written so the difference is obvious.
2. A comparison table: what each is, what it applies to, a key formula or feature, a typical example, and a common exam phrasing that signals it.
3. The single most reliable way to tell them apart, as a rule I could use under exam pressure.
4. Why students confuse them: the surface similarity that misleads people.
5. Six quick scenarios, mixed in order, where I must decide which concept applies. Don't give the answers until I reply.
After I answer, explain any I got wrong by pointing back to the rule in step 3.
Constraints: keep the language at my level. If the two terms are used differently in different fields or textbooks, say so instead of choosing silently.
