Explanation

According to the fundamentals of calculus from the differential calculus, the integral of 1/x is as follows:

We know that 1/x is the derivative of the log(x); so

(d/dx) (log x) = 1/x (if x>0)

Applying the chain rule we get,

(d/dx) (log- x) = 1/x (if x<0)

Hence, we can say that log|x|is the integral of 1/x that covers both types of integers positive and negative.
