The complex modulus is a nonnegative real number. Equality therefore requires itself to be real and nonnegative. Its imaginary part gives , and its real part then gives . Conversely every such point satisfies the equality. Hence the complete solution set isGeometrically this is the closed ray on the real axis starting at .

Rewrite the rational function as . It is undefined at , with the vertical asymptote , and tends to the horizontal asymptote as . At the pole, from the left and from the right.
Its derivative isvanishing only at . Since and near zero, this is a stationary inflection point, not an extremum. ThusThe graph increases on each side of the vertical asymptote. The left branch lies above , while the right branch lies below it and crosses the origin horizontally.

Separate variables near the nonzero initial condition: . Integration gives , and fixes . ThereforeThis is the maximal connected interval containing the initial point. Direct differentiation gives ; the pole at prevents continuation as a finite classical solution of a differential equation through that point.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
