Yup. Can I include this in my solution as a proof instead of typing them again?

@Niranjan Khanderia – Well, when you make bounds, you should say t = 0 to t = ∞
@Niranjan Khanderia – You can use
Define I n ⇒ I n = ∫ 0 ∞ t n e − t d t = − ∫ 0 ∞ t n d ( e − t ) = − e − t t n ∣ 0 ∞ + n ⋅ ∫ 0 ∞ t n − 1 e − t d t = n ⋅ I n − 1 = n !
as a proof. Anyway thanks ⌣ ¨

@Kishore S. Shenoy – Thanks. On second thought I think you have missed the summation. Though the summation reduces to zero, there are n terms, each redusing to zero with constants varying from n for first, (n) * (n-1) for the second etc. n! For the last, alternating with negative sign.

@Niranjan Khanderia – Oh, it's a typo! corrected!
Good solution...!
Take the Laplace transform of t^8 --> 8! / s^9
set s=1
Therefore the result is 8! = 40320
Through Integration by parts, we can get that ∫ 0 ∞ t n e − t d t = n ! ⇒ ∫ 0 ∞ t 8 e − t d t = 8 ! = 4 0 3 2 0
Proof:
Applying Integration by Parts,
Define I n ⇒ I n = ∫ 0 ∞ t n e − t d t = − ∫ 0 ∞ t n d ( e − t ) = − e − t t n ∣ 0 ∞ + n ⋅ ∫ 0 ∞ t n − 1 e − t d t = 0 + n ⋅ ∫ 0 ∞ t n − 1 e − t d t = n ⋅ I n − 1 = n !
Thus making it 8 ! = 4 0 3 2 0
Why is the first line true?

No you mean I should prove it? Integration by parts will do that right?
Log in to reply
Right. At the very least, state that. All that you have written is a claim, without any backing. How do we know that it is true?

@Calvin Lin – Done! I think now I'm clear!
By recognizing it as Γ ( 9 ) , the answer is 8 ! = 4 0 3 2 0 .
