The answer to what question?

Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

I assume you want to find the value(s) of that is/are solutions to the equation above.
Solutions must make the expressions above exist.
The functions and must be defined,
and the denominators must not be zero:
<--><--> and
<-->
So far, we know that the solution is such that
.
For any other value of , we try to simplify and solve.
There may be better ways, but this is what I came up with:

<--><--><--><--><--><--> .
The last equation is an identity.
So, the answer is any such that .
