Abstract
In this note, an alternative proof and extensions are provided for the following conclusions in [6, Theorem 1 and Theorem 3]: The functions <TEX>$\frac1{x^2}-\frac{e^{-x}}{(1-e^{-x})^2}\;and\;\frac1{t}-\frac1{e^t-1}$</TEX> are decreasing in (0, <TEX>${\infty}$</TEX>) and the function <TEX>$\frac{t}{e^{at}-e^{(a-1)t}}$</TEX> for a <TEX>$a{\in}\mathbb{R}\;and\;t\;{\in}\;(0,\;{\infty})$</TEX> is logarithmically concave.
