Given that even function f (x) (x ≠ 0) is monotone on interval (0, + ∞), what is the sum of all x satisfying f (X & # 178; - 2x-1) = f (x + 1)?

Given that even function f (x) (x ≠ 0) is monotone on interval (0, + ∞), what is the sum of all x satisfying f (X & # 178; - 2x-1) = f (x + 1)?

Because f (X & # 178; - 2x-1) = f (x + 1) and f (x) is even function, so x ^ 2-2x-1 = x + 1 or x ^ 2-2x-1 = - X-1, from ① we get x ^ 2-3x-2 = 0 = = > x is irrational root, X1 + x2 = 3, from ② we get x ^ 2-x = 0 = = > x is rational root, X1 + x2 = 1, so the sum of X is 4
