Problem Statement

Consider function f:RRf:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R} with f(x)=4x4x+2,f(x)=\frac{4^x}{4^x+2}, for any xRx\in \mathbb{R} a) Prove that f(x)+f(1x)=1,f(x)+f(1-x)=1, b) Claculate the sum f(11986)+f(21986)+f(19861986).f\left(\frac{1}{1986} \right)+f\left(\frac{2}{1986} \right)+\cdots f\left(\frac{1986}{1986} \right).
