Absolute values with partial fractions

174 Views Asked by At

I've been evaluating the integral noted here, and I was wondering why the natural logs once you get to... $$[2ln(-1)-ln(-2)] - [2ln(-2)-ln(-3)]$$...aren't done with absolute values. Instead, why isn't this the answer? $$[2ln(1)-ln(2)] - [2ln(2)-ln(3)]$$

Thanks!
