$${When} \\ $$$${c}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\underset{{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{1}}=\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{7}}+…=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{dx}=\left[{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} {x}\right]_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} =\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

$$\mathrm{1}+{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +{x}^{\mathrm{4}} +…..=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−{x}}=\frac{{T}_{\mathrm{1}} }{\mathrm{1}−{R}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\left({T}_{\mathrm{1}} =\:{first}\:{term}\:\:{R}={common}\:{Ratio}\right) \\ $$$$\underset{{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} {x}^{{n}} =\mathrm{1}−{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +{x}^{\mathrm{4}} −{x}^{\mathrm{5}} +…=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{x}}\:\:\:\:\:\left({Here}\:{common}\:{Ratio}\:\left(−{x}\right)\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}−{x}^{{c}} +{x}^{\mathrm{2}{c}} −{x}^{\mathrm{3}{c}} +…=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{x}^{{c}} }\:\:\:\left({Common}\:{Ratio}\:\left(−{x}^{{c}} \right)\right. \\ $$$$\underset{{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} {x}^{{nc}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{x}^{{c}} } \\ $$
