Solve the equation . Restrict solutions to the interval .
Solution: The substitution yields the equation , which is quadratic in u. We use the quadratic formula to solve for :
If the calculator gives x=1.1191 as the acute solution, so we deduce that the other solution is . The equation has no solutions, since for all x. The solution set is therefore .
