Answer

$\dfrac{x}{1-2x^2}$

Work Step by Step

The power series of $(1-x)^{-1}$ can be written as: $1+x+x^2+x^3+......=\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty} x^k$ Replace $x$ by $2x^2$ in the above series to obtain: $\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty} 2^k x^{2k+1}= (1-2x^2)^{-1}$ Therefore, the function represented by the power series is: $ (1-2x^2)^{-1}=\dfrac{x}{1-2x^2}$
