Expert Solution
Step 1

Given a real-valued function f defined as

f(x)=11+x2

Rewrite this function as

f(x)=11-(ix)2

Consider the power series 

n=0ix2n=1+ix2+ix4+ix6+ix8+

This is a geometric series with first term 1 and common ratio ix2 and converges for |x|<1

 

 

Step 2

The sum of this series  

n=0ix2n=1+ix2+ix4+ix6+ix8+

is given as

n=0ix2n=11-ix2

n=0ix2n=11-i2x2
