if the variable in the ln function is allowed to take on negative values then absolute value must be applied to variable just as Yefim did. Note then that two functions are specified. In this case y1=11e^(x^3/3)+4 for y>4 and y2=4-11e^(x^3/3) for y<4

It is then two functions y(x) are created, because of the absolute value application. y1=11e^(x^3/3)+4 for y>4 and y2=4-11e^(x^3/3) for y<4, y=4 is not valid. So for x=1, y equals either 11e^(1/3)+4 or 4-11e^(1/3).

That is y(x) provided in your solution is not a function. Answer should be ln(4-y)=[(1/3)x^3]+ln11.
