For positive x, this expression is equal to 1. The integral (anti-derivative) is therefore x + C (where C is the arbitrary integration constant).

For negative x, this expression is equal to -1, and the integral is -x + C.

Wolfram Alpha gives the integral as x times sgn(x), where sgn(x) is the "sign" function.

What is the antiderivative of 1 over xlnx?

It is ln(ln(x))


How do you take the antiderivative of 1 over x?

The general formula for powers doesn't work in this case, because there will be a zero in the denominator. The antiderivative of 1/x is ln(x), that is, the natural logarithm of x.


How can you calculate the arbitrary constant in the solution to an antiderivative?

You can't, unless it's an initial value problem. If f(x) is an antiderivative to g(x), then so is f(x) + c, for any c at all.

The absolute value of 19 is 19. If x is positive , absolute x equals x.

absolute value


What is the absolute value of x minus the absolute value of x?

zero. The absolute value of a number is just the positive version of that number, so the absolute value of x is x, and x minus x is zero.


What is the antiderivative of x to the -1?

Antiderivative of x/-1 = -1(x^2)/2 + C = (-1/2)(x^2) + C Wolfram says antiderivative of x^-1 is log(x) + C


What is the antiderivative of x to the 1?

By antiderivative do you mean integral? If yes, integral x^1 dx= (x^2)/2


What is the anti derivative of 1 divided by x?

If f(x)=1/x then F(x)=antiderivative of f(x)=ln(|x|) (the natural log of the absolute value of x) There's another way of reading this question. The anti derivative of 1 is x+c. Dividing that by x gives you 1 + c/x


What is the absolute value of x?

Abs(x) = x when x >= 0Abs(x) = -x when x < 0.In short, abs(x) is the distance from the origin to x, irrespective of whether it is to the left or right.

What is the absolute value of a negative integers?

The absolute value of a number is how many spaces the number is away from 0. So if the number was 32, the absolute value would be 32. And if the number was -54, then the absolute value would be 54. ========== The definition of "absolute value" for a number x (written as |x| ) is: |x| = x for x &gt;0 |x| = 0 for x=0 |x| = -x for x&lt;0
