Can someone remind me which Binomial Expansion formula is used to expand:
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+x^2} = 1 + (-1)x^2 + \frac{(-1)(-2)}{2!}(x^2)^2 + \frac{(-1)(-2)(-3)}{3!}(x^2)^3+...$
Thanks in advance.

If you really want to do it using the (generalized) binomial expansion, do it as $\displaystyle (a+ 1)^n$ with $\displaystyle a= x^2$ and n= -1.
