The Maclaurin series for (1-x)^-1 for |x|<1 is a geometric series .
1+x+x^2+x^3+...........
so the Toylor series for x^-1 at a=1 is
1-(x-1)+(x-1)^2-(x-1)^3+..........
By integrating the above Maclaurin series we find the series for log (1-x)
-x-1/2x^2-1/3x^3-1/4x^4
the series for log x at a = 1 is
(x-1)-1/2(x-1)^2+1/3(x-1)^3-1/4(x-1)^4
for the exponential function e^x at a=0 is
1+x/1!+x^2/2!.................=1+x^2+X…
1+x+x^2+x^3+...........

Hint: the n-th derivative of asubn x^n evaluated at x = 0 is n!asubn, where asubn is the coefficient of x^n
