A hint to get started

Differentiate the logarithmic series to obtain a logistic expansion

Given y=ln⁡(1+ex)y=\ln(1+e^x), show y′′=y′−(y′)2y^{\prime\prime}=y^{\prime}-(y^{\prime})^2. marks

Hence find its Maclaurin series through x2x^2. marks

Deduce the first two nonzero terms in the expansion of ex/(1+ex)e^x/(1+e^x). marks
