(1-t^2)/(1+t^2) = (-1-t^2+2)/(1+t^2) = -1 + 2/(1+t^2) since 2/(1+t^2) is always positive, y can't equal -1

(1-t^2)/(1+t^2) = (-1-t^2+2)/(1+t^2) = -1 + 2/(1+t^2) since 2/(1+t^2) is always positive, y can't equal -1

If it's always positive, why didn't they mention that y cant equal to all negative values, but only mention y can't equal to -1?

2/(1+t^2) is always positive not y

2/(1+t^2) is always positive not y

Ohhhh right since 2/1+t^2 can never = 0
