You need help ...?

You need help on your math homework, so you go to the home of two brothers, who are identical in every way except one always tells the truth, and the other always tells lies. You need the correct answers on your homework, so you must find the "truth-telling" brother, and get his assistance. When you meet the brothers at their front door and tell them you need their help, what one question can you ask either one of them to find out which one will help you by giving you truthful answers?
