calculus - Find the sum for the power series

Find the radius of convergence and the sum for the power series.

$$\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n(x-1)^{2n+1}$$

I used the ratio test to find the R.

$$\frac{(-1)^{n+1} (x-1)^{2(n+1)+1}}{(-1)^n (x-1)^{2n}}= $$

$$ =(-x+1)^3 $$

R = 1 (convergence radius)

The radius should be correct (let me know if I did something wrong).
However I have a hard time finding the sum for the power series. I think I should write it as a geometric series.

Would that be something like this?

$$ (-1)^n (1-\frac{1}{x})x^{2n+1} $$

And if this is right how would I proceed. I tried the formula for geometric sequences which did not work. I would like to know how to solve this problem and maybe a general approach.

The answer should be $$ \frac{x-1}{x^2-2x+2} $$

Answer

For any $\;x\;$ such that $\;|x-1|<1\iff -1

$$\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\left(x-1\right)^{2n+1}=(x-1)\sum_{n=0}^\infty\left(-(x-1)^2\right)^n=(x-1)\frac1{1+(x-1)^2}=$$

$$=\frac{x-1}{x^2-2x+2}$$
