Positive infinity symbol mutates in a +/- infinity within integral (gamma function)
I'm playing with CAS.
I tried to calculate the gamma function using my own definition (not the internal one). g(x):=int(e^(-t)*t^(x-1),t,0,+infinity) The CAS convert the +infinity to a +/-infinity. When you try to calculate the function using an integer value you obtain the right result: g(5) gives 24 When you try to calculate the gamma for a rational number or a decimal you obtain this symbolic result: g(5+1/3) gives int(t^5*e^(-t)/(t^(1/3))²,t,0,+/-infinity) You can note that +infinity mutates in +/-infinity. Why? Massimo from 34c to prime |
