Generalised powers

In the table below, \(\mathrm{f}\) is a function, and \(n\) is a constant; and \(C\) is an arbitrary constant.

\[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \left( \frac{[\mathrm{f}(x)]^{n+1}}{n+1} \right) = [\mathrm{f}(x)]^n \mathrm{f}'(x)\]\[\displaystyle \displaystyle\int [\mathrm{f}(x)]^n \mathrm{f}'(x) \, \mathrm{d}x = \frac{[\mathrm{f}(x)]^{n+1}}{n+1} + C \quad (n \neq -1)\]
\[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} (\ln \mathrm{f}(x)) = \frac{\mathrm{f}'(x)}{\mathrm{f}(x)}\]\[\displaystyle \displaystyle\int \frac{\mathrm{f}'(x)}{\mathrm{f}(x)} \, \mathrm{d}x = \ln |\mathrm{f}(x)| + C\]
