Dear

log(1+x+x2)

log (1-x3)/(1-x)

log (1-x3) - log (1-x)

case when n is a multiple of 3

coefficient of xn   is  -1/(n/3)      -(-1/n)

                                  = -2/n

 

when n is not a multiple of 3 then first term does not have a term xn

 so coefficient of xn  is -(-1/n)

                                        =1/n
