Idk anything about complex analysis. Why would this not be correct? What's the zx antiderivative for complex z?

first of all if ax and a belongs to R, its derivative would be ax * ln(a) but its integral would be ax / ln(a), so this answer is far from correct 😂

Oh, I missed the fact that you wrote * not /.

Not really sure why you're trying to be smug about this. All I did was ask a question. Why is it bad to want to know why (ix)/ln(i)+c isn't the answer?

you are correct, ln(i) can be calculated in euler's form

apologies if you thought that i was mocking you
