Finding the Taylor Series Expansion using Binomial Series, then obtaining a subsequent Expansion. Hi all doing some prep work for a course and really struggling to wrap my head around some of the revision questions. Some help would be really appreciated.  There are two halfs, part one is as follows:
Consider the function: 
$$ f(x) =\frac{1}{1-x} $$
Find the Taylor series expansion by expanding as a binomial series.
My solution is using $(1+x)^n = 1 + nx + \frac{n(n-1)}{2!}x^2 + \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}x^3 + ...$
In this case, $n = -1$ and $x = -1$.
So by substituting I end up with $$ 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + ... $$
So the Taylor Series Expansion in this case is:
$$\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n $$
Ok so far, now the second half.
Using your result for f (x) obtain the Taylor series for:
$$ g(x) =\frac{x^2}{1+x^2} $$
From what I understand reading, I need to convert f(x) into g(x) then apply whatever mathematical steps made to the terms in the series, which I did:
$$ f(x) =\frac{1}{1-x}  *  \frac{1-x}{1} = \frac{1}{1}$$
$$ \frac{1}{1} * \frac {1}{x^2+1} = \frac{1}{x^2+1}$$
$$ \frac{1}{x^2+1} * x^2 = \frac{x^2}{x^2+1} = g(x)$$
I'll leave out the individual steps, but applying these to the terms of the series, I get:
$$ \frac{x^2}{x^2+1} - \frac{x^3}{x^2+1} + \frac{x^3}{x^2+1} + \frac{x^4}{x^2+1} + \frac{x^4}{x^2+1}$$
Which is as far as I'm comfortable going, since this really doesn't feel right at all for a solution.  I'd really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction or let me know if I'm made some catastrophic error.  I'm really not sure how to write the final terms in sigma notation either.  Feel free to give me a slap on the wrist if I've made any silly errors.

$$g(x) =\frac{x^2}{1+x^2}=\frac{x^2+1-1}{1+x^2}=1-\frac{1}{1+x^2}$$ make $x^2=-t$ to face $f(t)$, simplify and, at the end, replace $t$ by $-x^2$.
