Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

y = - 8

Combine undefined points with solutions:

y = - \frac{32}{5}

x^{3} + \frac{27}{x ^{3}} = 28

\frac{1}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}} + \frac{3}{x - 1} - 10 = 0

0.1 = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} t + 1}

\frac{4 x}{x + 2} = \frac{5 x}{3 x + 1}

f, f^{2} (x) = \frac{2 x}{x + 1}
