Prime Number Theorem and Its Expansion: A Puzzling Equation

[autobot.d]

Hi there,

working on Prime Number Theorem and the book gives an equality that I probably should know...

\frac{1}{log(2x)}= \frac{1}{logx}- \frac{log2}{log^{2}x} + O(\frac{1}{log^{3}x})

and

\frac{1}{log^{2}2x} = \frac{1}{log^{2}x} + O(\frac{1}{log^{3}x})

Not sure what kind of expansion or what let's them draw this conclusion.
Any help is appreciated!

1/log2x = 1/(log2 + logx) = (1/logx)(1/(1 + {log2/logx})

1/(1 + u) = 1 - u + u² - u³ + ...
Let u=log2/logx in the first line. x > 2 is condition.
