Let F(x) be the real-valued function defined for all real x except for x = 0 and x = 1 and satisfying

the functional equation

F(x)+F(x1x)=1+x.

F(x) + F\left(\frac{x-1}x\right) = 1+x.

Find the F(x) satisfying these conditions.

Write F(x) as a rational function with expanded polynomials in the numerator and denominator.

 

F(x)+F(x1x)=1+x(1)Set in (1) x=x1x:F(x1x)+F(11x)=1+x1x(2)Set in (1) x=11x:F(11x)+F(x)=1+11x(3)(1)(2)+(3):F(x)+F(x1x)(F(x1x)+F(11x))+F(11x)+F(x)=1+x(1+x1x)+1+11xF(x)+F(x1x)F(x1x)F(11x)+F(11x)+F(x)=1+x(1+x1x)+1+11x2F(x)=1+x(1+x1x)+1+11x2F(x)=1+x1x1x+1+11x2F(x)=1+xx1x+11x2F(x)=1+x+1xx+11x2F(x)=(1+x)x(1x)+(1x)2+xx(1x)2F(x)=(1x2)x+12x+x2+xx(1x)2F(x)=(1x2)x+1x+x2x(1x)2F(x)=xx3+1x+x2x(1x)2F(x)=1+x2x3x(1x)F(x)=1+x2x32x(1x)F(x)=1+x2x32x2x2
