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(x−1x)=1+x.Find the F(x) satisfying these conditions. Write F(x) as a rational function with expanded polynomials in the numerator and denominator.
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(x−1x)=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.
