Answer

$f(t)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \dfrac{3^{t}}{\ln 3}-3\ln|t|+2-\dfrac{1}{3\ln 3}, & x\gt0\\ \\ \dfrac{3^{t}}{\ln 3}-3\ln|t|+1-\dfrac{3}{\ln 3}+3\ln 2, & x\lt0\\ \end{array}\right.$

Work Step by Step

$f'(t)=3^{t}-3\displaystyle \cdot\frac{1}{t}$ Using the antiderivatives table, $f(t)=\displaystyle \frac{3^{t}}{\ln 3}-3\ln|t|+C$ The domain of f is $(-\infty,0)\cup (0,+\infty ).$ Given that $f(1)=2\displaystyle \Rightarrow\quad 2=\frac{3^{-1}}{\ln 3}-3\ln|1|+C$ $C=2-\displaystyle \frac{1}{3\ln 3}$ (when $ x\gt0$ ) $f(-1)=1\displaystyle \Rightarrow\quad 1=\frac{3^{1}}{\ln 3}-3\ln|2|+C$ $C=1-\displaystyle \frac{3}{\ln 3}+3\ln 2$ (when $ x\lt0$ ) $f(t)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \dfrac{3^{t}}{\ln 3}-3\ln|t|+2-\dfrac{1}{3\ln 3}, & x\gt0\\ \\ \dfrac{3^{t}}{\ln 3}-3\ln|t|+1-\dfrac{3}{\ln 3}+3\ln 2, & x\lt0\\ \end{array}\right.$
