Answer

$f(x)=-\ln |x|+Cx+D$

Work Step by Step

$\left[\begin{array}{cc} \text{}f'' & \text{particular antiderivative,}f'\\ 1/x^{2}=x^{-2} & \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1}=-x^{-1} \end{array}\right]$ $f'(x)=-\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}+C$ $\left[\begin{array}{cc} \text{}f' & \text{particular antiderivative,}f\\ -1/x=(-1)\cdot\dfrac{1}{x} & -\ln |x|\\ C & Cx \end{array}\right]$ $f(x)=-\ln |x|+Cx+D$
