Solution steps

tanh^{2} (x) + 5 sech (x) - 5 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

tanh^{2} (x) + 5 sech (x) - 5 = 0

Use the Hyperbolic identity:

tanh (x) = \frac{e ^{x} - e ^{- x}}{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}

(\frac{e ^{x} - e ^{- x}}{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}})^{2} + 5 sech (x) - 5 = 0

Use the Hyperbolic identity:

sech (x) = \frac{2}{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}

a_{n} : 1, 2

Therefore, check the following rational numbers:

\pm \frac{1 , 2}{1 , 2}

\frac{1}{1}

is a root of the expression, so factor out

u - 1

= (u - 1) \frac{2 u ^{3} - 3 u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1}

\frac{2 u ^{3} - 3 u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1} = 2 u^{2} - u + 2

\frac{2 u ^{3} - 3 u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1}

Divide

\frac{2 u ^{3} - 3 u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1} : \frac{2 u ^{3} - 3 u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1} = 2 u^{2} + \frac{- u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1}

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

2 u^{3} - 3 u^{2} + 3 u - 2

and the divisor

u - 1 : \frac{2 u ^{3}}{u} = 2 u^{2}

Quotient = 2 u^{2}

Multiply

u - 1

2 u^{2} : 2 u^{3} - 2 u^{2}

Subtract

2 u^{3} - 2 u^{2}

from

2 u^{3} - 3 u^{2} + 3 u - 2

to get new remainder

Remainder = - u^{2} + 3 u - 2

Therefore

\frac{2 u ^{3} - 3 u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1} = 2 u^{2} + \frac{- u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1}

= 2 u^{2} + \frac{- u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1}

Divide

\frac{- u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1} : \frac{- u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1} = - u + \frac{2 u - 2}{u - 1}

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

- u^{2} + 3 u - 2

and the divisor

u - 1 : \frac{- u ^{2}}{u} = - u

Quotient = - u

Multiply

u - 1

- u : - u^{2} + u

Subtract

- u^{2} + u

from

- u^{2} + 3 u - 2

to get new remainder

Remainder = 2 u - 2

Therefore

\frac{- u ^{2} + 3 u - 2}{u - 1} = - u + \frac{2 u - 2}{u - 1}

= 2 u^{2} - u + \frac{2 u - 2}{u - 1}

Divide

\frac{2 u - 2}{u - 1} : \frac{2 u - 2}{u - 1} = 2

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

2 u - 2

and the divisor

u - 1 : \frac{2 u}{u} = 2

Quotient = 2

Multiply

u - 1

2 : 2 u - 2

Subtract

2 u - 2

from

2 u - 2

to get new remainder

Remainder = 0

Therefore

\frac{2 u - 2}{u - 1} = 2

= 2 u^{2} - u + 2

= 2 u^{2} - u + 2

= (u - 1) (2 u^{2} - u + 2)

= (u - 1) (u - 1) (2 u^{2} - u + 2)

= - 2 (u - 1) (u - 1) (2 u^{2} - u + 2)

Refine

= - 2 (u - 1)^{2} (2 u^{2} - u + 2)

= - 2 (u - 1)^{2} (2 u^{2} - u + 2)

- 2 (u - 1)^{2} (2 u^{2} - u + 2) = 0

Using the Zero Factor Principle:

ab = 0

then

a = 0

b = 0

u - 1 = 0 or 2 u^{2} - u + 2 = 0

Solve

u - 1 = 0 : u = 1

u - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

u - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

u - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

u = 1

u = 1

Solve

Discriminant

2 u^{2} - u + 2 = 0

For a quadratic equation of the form

the discriminant is

b^{2} - 4 a c

For

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 16

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 16

= 16

= 1 - 16

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 16 = - 15

= - 15
