SOLUTION: solve for x x^4+2x/x^2-1=0 in a solution they got =>(x^4+2x)(x^2-1)/(x^2-1)^2 =0 and then =>x=-2^(1/3),-1,0,1 how did they get this? Thanks in advance!

I think this is your equation although you didn't use any parentheses.

So you need to solve when the numerator is equal to zero,

Two solutions:

and


Not sure about the other two solutions.
I also looked at
