We will use the following Γ ( x ) = ∫ 0 ∞ t x − 1 e − t d t Γ ( 2 1 + n ) = 2 n ( 2 n − 1 ) ! ! π The integral can be written as I = ∫ 0 ∞ t 2 7 e − 2 t d t Take y = 2 t ⇒ I = 2 2 7 ∫ 0 ∞ y 2 9 − 1 e − y d t ⇒ I = 2 2 7 Γ ( 2 9 ) = 2 2 7 Γ ( 2 1 + 4 ) ⇒ I = 2 2 1 + 3 2 4 ( 7 ) ! ! π = 2 1 0 5 2 π = 1 3 1 . 5 9
The integral in the problem is actually ∫ 0 ∞ e 2 t t 7 d t = ∫ 0 ∞ t 2 7 e − 4 t d t .

thats correct , the answer is 5955.44 (checked with wolfram alpha)
Thanks. I have updated the answer to 5955.44.
In future, if you spot any errors with a problem, you can “report” it by selecting "report problem" in the “dot dot dot” menu in the lower right corner. You will get a more timely response that way.

@Shriram Lokhande – Given that this problem is several months old, I would prefer that it is left as is. I was not aware that you edited the problem, as you did not reply to any of the comments or reports.
I have reverted back the problem to it's original state.
