How does the infinite series below simplify to that integral?



$$1-frac14+frac17-frac110+cdots=int_0^1fracdx1+x^3$$



I thought of simplifying the series to the sum to infinity of $frac16n-5 - frac16n-2$, but this did not help.

for $x$ real, $ngeq 0$ integer
beginalignfrac11+x^3&=frac1-(-x^3)^n+11-(-x^3)+frac(-x^3)^n+11-(-x^3)\
&=frac1-(-x^3)^n+11-(-x^3)+frac(-x^3)^n+11+x^3\
endalign



For $xneq 1$, $ngeq 0$ integer, beginalignsum_k=0^n x^k=frac1-x^n+11-xendalign



Therefore,
beginalignint_0^1 frac11+x^3,dx&=int_0^1 left(sum_k=0^n (-x^3)^kright),dx+int_0^1 frac(-x^3)^n+11+x^3,dx\
&=sum_k=0^n left(int_0^1 (-x^3)^k,dxright)+int_0^1 frac(-x^3)^n+11+x^3,dx\
&=sum_k=0^n frac(-1)^k3k+1+int_0^1 frac(-x^3)^n+11+x^3,dx\
endalign



For $xin[0;1],ngeq 0$, integer,
beginalignfracx^3(n+1)1+x^3leq x^3(n+1)endalign
and,
beginalignint_0^1 x^3(n+1),dx=frac13n+4endalign
Therefore,
beginalignleft|int_0^1 frac(-x^3)^n+11+x^3,dxright|leq frac13n+4endalign
beginalignleft|int_0^1 frac11+x^3,dx-sum_k=0^n frac(-1)^k3k+1right|leq frac13n+4endalign
Therefore,

      Only finite sums (that is, not series) are used. You can interchange sum and integral signs when the sum involves finite number of terms.
