The solution

You have entered [src]
f*x*x = 1
$$x f x = 1$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$x f x = 1$$
to
$$x f x - 1 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = f$$
$$b = 0$$
$$c = -1$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (f) * (-1) = 4*f

The equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{f}}$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{f}}$$
The solution of the parametric equation
Given the equation with a parameter:
$$f x^{2} = 1$$
Коэффициент при x равен
$$f$$
then possible cases for f :
$$f < 0$$
$$f = 0$$
Consider all cases in more detail:
With
$$f < 0$$
the equation
$$- x^{2} - 1 = 0$$
its solution
no solutions
With
$$f = 0$$
the equation
$$-1 = 0$$
its solution
no solutions
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$x f x = 1$$
of
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$\frac{f x^{2} - 1}{f} = 0$$
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 0$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = - \frac{1}{f}$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = 0$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = - \frac{1}{f}$$
