Solve the equation $\operatorname{arcsinh}=\operatorname{arcsech}(x)$ analytically I am trying to obtain an analytical solution of the equation.
$$\operatorname{arcsinh}(x) = \operatorname{arcsech}(x)$$
Equating the logarithmic definitions leads to the rather unwieldy equation
$$x^4+x^3\sqrt{x^2+1} +x^2 -1.0 -\sqrt{1-x^2}$$
Needless to say I am struggling to obtain an expression for x ! Can anyone offer a solution ?

$$\log(x+\sqrt{x^2+1})=\log\left(\frac1x+\sqrt{\frac1{x^2}-1}\right)$$
is equivalent to
$$x^2-1=\sqrt{1-x^2}-x\sqrt{x^2+1}.$$
Then with squaring,
$$x^4-2x^2+1=1-x^2-2x\sqrt{1-x^4}+x^2(x^2+1)$$
simplifies to
$$x=0\lor x=\sqrt{1-x^4}.$$
The last equation can be reduced to biquadratic.

$$x=\dfrac1{\sqrt\phi}.$$
