### Infinite Series Representation

The given mathematical expression describes an infinite series. The series is represented as follows:

\[
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{2^n n}
\]

#### Explanation

- **Summation Symbol (∑):** This symbol indicates that we are dealing with a series, which is a sum of a sequence of terms.
  
- **Limits of Summation (n=1 to ∞):** The variable \( n \) starts at 1 and approaches infinity (∞), meaning we are summing an infinite number of terms starting from \( n = 1 \).

- **Term of the Series (\(\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{2^n n} \)):**
  - \( (-1)^n \) oscillates between -1 and 1 for different values of \( n \).
  - \( x^{2n+1} \) raises \( x \) to the power of \( 2n+1 \), which means the exponent is always an odd number.
  - \( 2^n \) raises 2 to the power of \( n \).
  - \( n \) is a simple multiplier for each term.

Therefore, each term in the series is a fraction where:
  - The numerator is \( (-1)^n \) times \( x^{2n+1} \),
  - The denominator is \( 2^n \) times \( n \).

This series may be used in contexts such as Taylor expansions or Fourier series in mathematics and engineering.
