Thank you. Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You do need to be careful when you write: t = 1 - x^2/x^2 when you really mean: t = (1 - x^2)/x^2. But here's how you would do it.
Multiply both sides by (t+1) Divide both sides by x^2 Subtract 1 from both sides. Simplify.
