Answer

$$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1) ^nx^ {2n}$$ $ |x|\lt1$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ f(x)=\frac{1}{1+ x^2}$$ Since $$\frac{1}{1-x}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^{n},\ \ \ \ |x|\lt 1\tag{1}$$ By using (1), we get \begin{align*} \frac{1}{1+x^2}&=\frac{1}{1-(- x^2)}\\ &= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(- x^2)^{n}\\ &= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1) ^nx^ {2n} \end{align*} Such that $ |x|\lt1$
