So many compositions...

Algebra Level 4

Let f : R { 0 , 1 } R f:\mathbb{R}-\{0,1\}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} be a function that satisfies the equation f ( x ) + f ( 1 x x ) = 1 x \displaystyle f(x)+f\left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)=1-x . If f f can be expressed as f ( x ) = a x 3 + b x 2 + c x + d x e x 2 + f x + g x \displaystyle f(x)=\frac{ax^3+bx^2+cx+dx}{ex^2+fx+gx} , where this fraction is irreducible, then what is the value of a + b + c + d + e + f + g a+b+c+d+e+f+g ? If you think f f can't be expressed in this form, enter 1 -1 as your answer.


The answer is -1.
