$${f}\left({x}\right)={y}\:=\:\frac{−{x}\mid{x}\mid}{\mathrm{1}\:+\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${if}\:{y}\geqslant\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{x}\leqslant\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\mid{x}\mid=−{x}\:\:\:\:..\left({i}\right) \\ $$$${if}\:{y}\leqslant\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{x}\geqslant\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\mid{x}\mid={x}\:\:\:\:..\left({ii}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\left({i}\right): \\ $$$${y}\:=\:\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{1}\:+\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}−{y}\right){x}^{\mathrm{2}} ={y} \\ $$$${x}=−\sqrt{\frac{{y}}{\mathrm{1}−{y}}}\:\:\:\:\:\left({for}\:{y}\geqslant\mathrm{0},\:{x}\leqslant\mathrm{0}\right) \\ $$$$\left({ii}\right): \\ $$$${y}\:=\:−\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{1}\:+\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}+{y}\right){x}^{\mathrm{2}} =−{y} \\ $$$${x}=\sqrt{\frac{−{y}}{\mathrm{1}+{y}}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\left({for}\:{y}\leqslant\mathrm{0},\:{x}\geqslant\mathrm{0}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${for}\:{both}\:\left({i}\right)\:{and}\:\left({ii}\right): \\ $$$${x}=−{sgn}\left({y}\right)\sqrt{\frac{\mid{y}\mid}{\mathrm{1}−\mid{y}\mid}}\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left({x}\right)=−{sgn}\left({x}\right)\sqrt{\frac{\mid{x}\mid}{\mathrm{1}−\mid{x}\mid}}\: \\ $$
