$$\frac{x^{2} - 1}{x} = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{x^{2} - 1}{x} = 0$$
Multiply the equation sides by the denominators:
x
we get:
$$x^{2} - 1 = 0$$
$$x^{2} - 1 = 0$$
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
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 0$$
$$c = -1$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

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

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

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

or
$$x_{1} = 1$$
Simplify
$$x_{2} = -1$$
