$${x}={t}:\:{f}\left({t}\right)+\mathrm{2}{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}}\right)=\mathrm{3}{t} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}}:\:{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}}\right)+\mathrm{2}{f}\left({t}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{{t}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{f}\left({t}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{{t}}−{t}\:\left[\wedge\:{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}}\right)=\mathrm{2}{t}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}}\right] \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{f}'\left({x}\right)=−\frac{\mathrm{2}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }−\mathrm{1} \\ $$
