Exercise $$\PageIndex{3}$$

This problem investigates why Theorem 35 states that $$\int \frac{1}{x}\,dx = \ln |x|+C$$.
(a) What is the domain of $$y=\ln x$$?
(b) Find $$\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x)$$.
(c) What is the domain of $$y=\ln (-x)$$?
(d) Find $$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( (\ln (-x)\right )$$.
(e) You should find that $$1/x$$ has two types of antiderivatives, depending on whether $$x>0$$ or $$x<0$$. In one expression, give a formula for $$\int \frac{1}{x}\,dx$$ that takes these different domains into account, and explain your answer.
