$e^{\frac{2}{x-1}\log\left|x-1\right|}+1\neq 0$

Since that this is an exponential function, this equation is verified $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}$? Or I have to consider the absolute value of the ligarithm?


Note: these are not homework.

Everywhere the LHS is defined, the equality holds, since $e^{y} \geq 0$ for all $y$ and for all $x \geq 0$, $x + 1 > 0$. The LHS is not defined for $x = 1$ (since neither $\log|x-1|$ nor $\frac{2}{x-1}$ is defined there).

    Okok, understood. It is like saying: since I set up x>1 in the system, there aren't values of $x$ that could make negative the argument of the logarithm; so, this equation is verified $\forall x \in\mathbb{R}$. Thank you!2012-02-02
