How do you calculate the anti derivative 6/x dx?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

pull out the constant first so.... 6 int (1/x)dx does that look familiar?

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

\[{d \over dx} ax^{n}= nax^{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

when \(\large n \ne 1\) @slaaibak

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i mean -1

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

What?

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

I'm pretty sure that works for all n.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the power rule works if n is not equal to -1 otherwise it is ln

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@lgbasallote i tried that but the assignment feedback says incorrect

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

I think you are thinking of integration.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

antiderivative -> integration...

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

Oh! lol, only read derivative, not anti derivative. Mybad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what's the correct answer?!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

6lnx + C was your answer @mrc706 ?

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

6ln x + C

ok thank you
