 Dear arauka

If n is a positive rational number ,then the improper integral

o e-x xn-1 dx  is define as Gamma Function and is denoted by n"

 

Γn = o e-x xn-1 dx     where x ε Q+

this is very special type of intigration you can directlt calculate these type of intigration by using gamma function.

for example you want to calculate

 o e-x x3 dx 

then according to gamma function

o e-x x3 dx =o e-x x4-1 dx

                         =Γ4=3! =6

where Γ(n+1) =n!
