This equation has one solution:
Explanation:
First we can substitute the expression
#(t-1/t)/2=1#
If we multiply this by
#t-1/t=2#
If we multiply this by
#t^2-1=2t#
#t^2-2t-1=0#
If we use the quadratic formula we get:
#Delta=(-2)^2-4*1*(-1)#
#Delta= 4+4=8#
#t_1=(2-2sqrt(2))/2=1-sqrt(2)#
(
#t_2=(2+2sqrt(2))/2=1+sqrt(2)#
This expression lies in the domain, so we can calculate the corresponding value of
