Question Number 156338 by MathSh last updated on 10/Oct/21

Solve in R  (1/( (√(x^2  - 1)))) = (2/x) - 1

$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathbb{R} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:-\:\mathrm{1}}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{x}}\:-\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

x>1  f(x)=(1/( (√(x^2 −1))))  g(x)=(2/x)−1  both functions are decreasing.  f(1)→+∞  g(1)=1 <f(1)  f(2)=((√3)/3)  f(2)=0 <f(2)  for x>2:  f(x)>0  g(x)<0  that means for x>1: f(x)>g(x)  ⇒no solution for f(x)=g(x)!

$${x}>\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}} \\ $$$${g}\left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{{x}}−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${both}\:{functions}\:{are}\:{decreasing}. \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\rightarrow+\infty \\ $$$${g}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{1}\:<{f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{0}\:<{f}\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$${for}\:{x}>\mathrm{2}: \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)>\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${g}\left({x}\right)<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${that}\:{means}\:{for}\:{x}>\mathrm{1}:\:{f}\left({x}\right)>{g}\left({x}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{no}\:{solution}\:{for}\:{f}\left({x}\right)={g}\left({x}\right)! \\ $$

(1/( (√(x^2 −1))))=((2−x)/x)  x=(2−x)(√(x^2 −1)) )  x^2 =(2−x)^2 (x^2 −1)  x^2 =[4−4x+x^2 ](x^2 −1)  x^2 =4x^2 −4−4x^3 +4x+x^4 −x^2   x^2 =4x^2 −4−4x^3 +4x+x^4 −x^2   2x^2 −4x^3 +x^4 +4x−4=0  x^4 −4x^3 +2x^2 +4x−4=0  .....
