A definition of the gamma function due to Carl Friedrich

Chapter , Problem 7E

(choose chapter or problem)

A definition of the gamma function due to Carl Friedrich Gauss that is valid for all real numbers, except x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , is given by

\(\Gamma(x)=\lim _{n \rightarrow} \frac{n ! n^{x}}{x(x+1)(x+2) \cdots(x+n)}\).

Use this definition to show that \(\Gamma(x+1)=x \Gamma(x)\).

Text Transcription:

Gamma x = lim _n rightarrow  n  n^x x x+1/x+2 cdots(x+n)

Gamma(x+1)=x Gamma x
