| May 26, 2021 at 2:10 | comment | added | LSpice | Something bothers me a little bit about this, but I'm having trouble articulating it. Here's a clumsy stab at it. $x^r$ has a multiple of another power of $x$ as an anti-derivative. Of course it's just a trivial change of wording, but, from this point of view, we can view $\ln(x)$ as a "generalised multiple" $\lim_{r \to -1} \frac1{r + 1}(x^{r + 1} - 1)$ … not of a power of $x$, but close; and the analogy becomes better when we think about anti-derivatives that vanish at $1$, not (as is somewhat biased against $r = -1$ anyway) of anti-derivatives that vanish (or are undefined) at $0$. | |
