Let $f$ be a function from R to R. Suppose we have:
(1) $f(0)=0$
(2) For all $x, y \in (-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty)$, we have $f(\frac{1}{x})+f(\frac{1}{y})=f(\frac{x+y}{1+xy})$.
(3) If $x \in (-1,0)$, then $f(x) > 0$.
Prove: $\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} f(\frac{1}{n^2+7n+11}) > f(\frac12)$ with $n \in N^+$.
