Answer

$-\ln (1-x^2)$

Work Step by Step

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