A suitable real antiderivative on the disconnected domain is
For , directly; for , and the chain rule again gives . The graph is even, crosses zero at , tends to on either side of zero, and tends to as . Independent additive constants may be chosen on the two disconnected half-lines; both are set to zero here.
