Find all functions f:RRf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} that satisfy the conditions f(1+xy)f(x+y)=f(x)f(y) for all x,yR f(1+x y)-f(x+y)=f(x) f(y) \text { for all } x, y \in \mathbb{R} and f(1)0f(-1) \neq 0.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Find all functions f:R→R that satisfy the conditions

f(1+xy)−f(x+y)=f(x)f(y) for all x,y∈R

and f(−1)≠0.
Original LaTeX notation
Find all functions $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that satisfy the conditions

$$
f(1+x y)-f(x+y)=f(x) f(y) \text { for all } x, y \in \mathbb{R}
$$

and $f(-1) \neq 0$.
