Question: issues with the is function

im a huge fan of using the is boolean function maple has in my studies, and in as much as the CAS is a million times smarter than me, i just wanted to show an example of a situation where i am reluctant to use this feature. (see the uploaded worksheet)

 

perhaps someone with more  programming ability/experience than me can explain how it works, as so i can have a means of knowing whether or not it is appropriate to use in each situation.IS_function_problem_example.mw
