How to solve: $x+\ln(x^2-1)=0$ I'm trying to solve the following equation for a couple of hours with no success.
$x+\ln(x^2-1)=0$
I'm trying to find x.
I tried playing with logarithmic identities to transform it to something simpler, but it didn't lead me to an answer.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks.

There is no analytic solution. (Or else, Wolfram Alpha would get it)
