If $fleft(dfrac{x-1}{x+1}right)=x^2+x-1$. What is $x=?$



A) $0quad$ B) $1quad$ C)$-1quad$ D)$2quad$ E)$-2$




I believe, the problem is missing something, because for every $x$ I plug in, there exists a value of the function.

    This depends obviously of which function $f$ you are considering.

    $x$ can be $0$ is $f$ is constant equal to $-1$ for example. It can be $x=1$ if $f$ is constant equal to $1$. It can be $x=2$ if $f$ is constant equal to $5$. It can be $x=-2$ if $f$ is constant equal to $1$. The only answer $x$ cannot be is $-1$, because in that case, the quotient is not defined.
