If f(x) = x³ - (1/x³), then f(x) + f(1/x) is equal to ____?
If f(x) = x³ - (1/x³), then f(x) + f(1/x) is equal to ____?
Explanation
Given f(x) = x³ - (1/x³):
f(1/x) = (1/x)³ - (1/(1/x)³) = (1/x³) - x³
Now, let's calculate f(x) + f(1/x):
f(x) + f(1/x) = (x³ - 1/x³) + (1/x³ - x³)
= x³ - x³ - 1/x³ + 1/x³
= 0
