About This Question

Subject: mathematics
Chapter: integral calculus
Topic: indefinite integrals
Difficulty: Easy
Year: 2025

Solution

Correct Answer:

ln|x| + C

Standard Result: The power rule formula $\frac{x ^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ fails for $n = - 1$ (division by zero).
Logarithmic Answer: The derivative of $ln (x)$ is $1/ x$ .
Absolute Value: Because $1/ x$ is defined for negative $x$ (where $ln x$ is not), we must include an absolute value to cover the entire domain of $1/ x$ .
Result: $\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣ + C$ .
