<s>[INST] Evaluating $\int_{0}^{1} \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{k=1}^{4n-2}(-1)^\frac{k^2+k+2}{2} x^{2k-1} dx$ for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, evaluate
$$\int_{0}^{1} \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{k=1}^{4n-2}(-1)^\frac{k^2+k+2}{2} x^{2k-1} dx$$
I could not use wolframalpha, I do not know the reason.
For $n = 1$, the integrand $=x+x^3$
For $n = 2$, the integrand $=x+x^3-x^5-x^7+x^9+x^{11}$
For $n = 3$, the integrand $=x+x^3-x^5-x^7+x^9+x^{11}-x^{13}-x^{15}+x^{17}+x^{19}$
and so on.
For $n = 1000$, the integrand $=x+x^3-x^5-x^7+x^9+x^{11}-x^{13}-x^{15}+x^{17}+x^{19}-\dots+x^{7993}+x^{7995}$
Using MS-EXCEL with $n=1000$, I found that the value is approximately $0.56...$.
I do not know if  $n \rightarrow \infty$ , will the required expression have a closed form or no.

Your help would be appreciated. THANKS!
 [/INST] Hint:  Notice that the sum is of consecutive odd powers of $x$ changing sign every two terms.  What if you break it up into two sums, one of which is of the powers $4k+1$ and one of which is the powers of $4k+3$, both of alternating sign, and compare them to the Taylor series for $\frac{1}{1+y}$ for some suitable $y$.
