the following cmd gives me three 3 solutions: -1, 1,sqrt(2), even if I specificlly assume that a is not equal to neither 1 or -1....

([RealDomain[solve]((1/(a-1)-1/(a+1))*(2*a^2-2)/a = 4/surd(2, 2), useassumptions = true)] assuming a <> 1, a <> -1

 

why does this wired thing happen?
Please Wait...
