given x^2 =(π^2 /3)+4Σ(−1)^n ((cos(nx))/n^2 ), show that Σ(1/((2n−1)^2 ))=(π^2 /8)

$$\mathrm{given}\:\:\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{\pi^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{4}\Sigma\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} \frac{\mathrm{cos}\left(\mathrm{nx}\right)}{\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} },\:\mathrm{show}\:\mathrm{that}\:\Sigma\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\left(\mathrm{2n}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }=\frac{\pi^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$

x^2 =(π^2 /3)+4Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (((−1)^n )/n^2 )cos(nx) x=(π/2) ⇒(π^2 /4)=(π^2 /3)+4Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (((−1)^n )/n^2 )cos(((nπ)/2)) n=2m⇒cos(n(π/2))=(−1)^m n=2m+1 ⇒cos(((nπ)/2))=0 ⇒ 4Σ_(m=1) ^∞ (((−1)^(2m) (−1)^m )/(4m^2 ))=(π^2 /4)−(π^2 /3) =−(π^2 /(12)) ⇒Σ_(m=1) ^∞ (((−1)^m )/m^2 )=−(π^2 /(12)) ⇒ (1/4)Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (1/n^2 )−Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (1/((2n+1)^2 ))=−(π^2 /(12)) ⇒Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (1/((2n+1)^2 ))=(1/4)(π^2 /6)+(π^2 /(12)) =((π^2 +2π^2 )/(24))=((3π^2 )/(24))=(π^2 /8) n=r−1⇒Σ_(r=1) ^∞ (1/((2r−1)^2 ))=(π^2 /8)
