The correct answer is: infinite

We have,



f'x=lnx2+1



fx=lnx2-1dx



fx=xlnx2-1-2x2x2-1dx



fx=xlnx2-1-2x2-1x2-1+1x2-1dx



fx=xlnx2-1-2x-lnx-1x+1+C



f2=2ln3-4-ln13+C=0 f2=0



C=4-3ln3



fx=xlnx2-1-2nlnx-1x+1+4-3ln3



defined for S infinite C values possible in set S such that f'x=lnx2-1
