Problem

The Maclaurin series of arctan⁡xx\dfrac{\arctan x}{x} can be written in the form ∑n=0∞cnx2n\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} c_n x^{2n}. Which of the following gives cnc_n in closed form? (a) cn=(−1)n(2n+1)!c_n = \dfrac{(-1)^{n}}{(2n+1)!} (b) cn=(−1)n2n−1c_n = \dfrac{(-1)^{n}}{2n-1} (c) cn=(−1)n2n+1c_n = \dfrac{(-1)^{n}}{2n+1} (d) cn=(−1)n+12n+1c_n = \dfrac{(-1)^{n+1}}{2n+1}
