fx^{-1}\left(x+1\right)\left(x^{2}-x+1\right)=1
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x+1\right)\left(x^{2}-x+1\right).
\left(fx^{-1}x+fx^{-1}\right)\left(x^{2}-x+1\right)=1
Use the distributive property to multiply fx^{-1} by x+1.
fx^{-1}x^{3}+fx^{-1}=1
Use the distributive property to multiply fx^{-1}x+fx^{-1} by x^{2}-x+1 and combine like terms.
fx^{2}+fx^{-1}=1
To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add -1 and 3 to get 2.
fx^{2}+\frac{1}{x}f=1
Reorder the terms.
fx^{2}x+1f=x
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
fx^{3}+1f=x
To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 1 to get 3.
fx^{3}+f=x
Reorder the terms.
\left(x^{3}+1\right)f=x
Combine all terms containing f.
\frac{\left(x^{3}+1\right)f}{x^{3}+1}=\frac{x}{x^{3}+1}
Divide both sides by x^{3}+1.
f=\frac{x}{x^{3}+1}
Dividing by x^{3}+1 undoes the multiplication by x^{3}+1.
f=\frac{x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x^{2}-x+1\right)}
Divide x by x^{3}+1.
