The figure on the right shows a circle with center at the origin O and radius 1, and the graph of a quadratic function $y = f ( x )$ passing through the point $( 0 , - 1 )$ on the coordinate plane. The equation $$\frac { 1 } { f ( x ) + 1 } - \frac { 1 } { f ( x ) - 1 } = \frac { 2 } { x ^ { 2 } }$$ has how many distinct real roots $x$? [3 points]
