When I use "solve" to find the root for the equation 1/x+(1/x)^3==1, it returns 3 answers, even including one that's negative. Yet obviously this equation should have unique solution. How should I refine the answer? Thank you!

Why should it have a unique solution?
It’s a cubic equation, so it will have three roots. They do not have to be distinct roots, but there have to be three of them:
x =

My pleasure!
The solve function (I used vpasolve) doesn’t return three real answers, at least to your polynomial. It returns one real and two complex conjugate solutions.
It solves for all three solutions (as does the roots function if you cast your equation as a polynomial vector). Your equation does have a real solution: 1.46557123.
If you want only the real root, that’s easy enough:
p = [1 -1 0 -1];
pr = roots(p);
real_root = pr(imag(pr) == 0)
produces:
real_root =
