Problem Statement

A function ff is defined on the set of all real numbers except 00 and takes all real values except 11. It is also known that
\color{white}\ . \ \color{black}\   f(xy)=f(x)f(-y)-f(x)+f(y)
for any x,y0x,y\not= 0 and that
\color{white}\ . \ \color{black}\   f(f(x))=\frac{1}{f(\frac{1}{x})}
for any x∉{0,1}x\not\in\{ 0,1\}. Determine all such functions ff.
