I have to solve the following

$y = f(x)$

$y = \ln(\frac{1+x}{1-x}) $

I need to find $x$.

It is ruining my life for the past 30 minutes ... and i am sure it is really easy

Thank you in advance

    I formatted your question. I assume you meant $\ln(\frac{1+x}{1-x})$ and not $\ln(1+\frac x1-x)$ or $\ln(1+\frac x{1-x})$.2012-10-04

    Hint: $\frac{1+x}{1-x}=\frac2{1-x}-1$.2012-10-04

Well, by definition of logarithm, $$ \frac{1+x}{1-x} = e^y, $$ or $$ 1+x=(1-x)e^y. $$ Hence $$ (1+e^y)x=e^y-1, $$ that is $$ x = \frac{e^y-1}{e^y+1}. $$

    @Chris Are you familiar with exponentiation? $y=\ln x\iff e^y=x$2012-10-04

    i figured it out a few minutes ago . Thank you !2012-10-04

AS $y=\ln\frac{1+x}{1-x}$, by exponential map, we can get that $e^{y}=\frac{1+x}{1-x}$, then $x=\frac{e^{y}-1}{e^{y}+1}$.
