(1) f(x)+f((1/(1−x))) = x  replace x→(1/(1−x))   (2)f((1/(1−x)))+f(((x−1)/x))=(1/(1−x))  replace(1/(1−x))→x  (3)f(((x−1)/x))+f(x)=((x−1)/x)  ⇔(1)+(3)⇒2f(x)+f(((x−1)/x))+f((1/(1−x)))=((x^2 +x−1)/x)      ⇒2f(x)+(1/(1−x)) = ((x^2 +x−1)/x)      ⇒2f(x)= ((x^2 +x−1)/x)−(1/(1−x))        ⇒2f(x)=((x^2 +x−1)/x)+(1/(x−1))=((x^3 −x^2 +x^2 −x−x+1+x)/(x(x−1)))       f(x)=((x^3 −x+1)/(2x(x−1)))
