TypeMaclaurin series for ln(trigonometric expressions)

1 It is given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \ln ( 1 + \cos x )\).
  1. Find the exact values of \(f ( 0 ) , f ^ { \prime } ( 0 )\) and \(f ^ { \prime \prime } ( 0 )\).
  2. Hence find the first two non-zero terms of the Maclaurin series for \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\).
