Pretty Nice Integral

Calculus Level 5

0 x 5 d x e 5 x 1 = 1 a b ζ ( c ) Γ ( c ) \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{x^{5}\mathrm{d}x}{e^{5x} -1} = \dfrac{1}{a^{b}}\zeta(c)\Gamma(c)\\

With a , b , c a,b,c are positive integers with prime number a a , find 5 6 a b c 2 \dfrac{5}{6}abc^2

Details and Assumptions \text{ Details and Assumptions }
1.) ζ ( x ) \zeta(x) is the Riemann Zeta Function
2.) Γ ( x ) \Gamma(x) is the Gamma Function


The answer is 900.

Consider,
I = 0 x n d x e a x 1 I = 0 x n e a x d x 1 e a x N o w , e a x 1 e a x = e a x + e 2 a x + = r = 1 e a r x I = r = 1 0 x n e a r x d x S e t a r x = t ; a r d x = d t I = r = 1 1 ( a r ) n + 1 0 t n e t d t I = 1 a n + 1 ζ ( n + 1 ) Γ ( n + 1 ) a n s w e r : 0 x 5 d x e 5 x 1 = 1 5 6 ζ ( 6 ) Γ ( 6 ) I= \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{x^{n}\text{d}x}{e^{ax}-1} \\ I= \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{x^{n}e^{-ax}dx}{1-e^{-ax}} \\ Now, \dfrac{e^{-ax}}{1-e^{-ax}} = e^{-ax} +e^{-2ax} +\cdots \infty \\ = \displaystyle \sum_{r=1}^{\infty}e^{-arx} \\ I= \displaystyle \sum_{r=1}^{\infty} \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} x^{n}e^{-arx}dx \\ Set\quad arx=t; ar\text{d}x=dt \\ I=\displaystyle \sum_{r=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{(ar)^{n+1}}\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} t^{n}e^{-t}dt \\ \\ I=\dfrac{1}{a^{n+1}}\zeta(n+1)\Gamma(n+1) \\ answer: \boxed {\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{x^{5}\text{d}x}{e^{5x}-1} = \dfrac{1}{5^{6}}\zeta(6)\Gamma(6)}

How the answer is 900? a=5, b=6, c=6, d=6 then abcd=1080 Then (6abcd)/5=1296 I think there is some mistake please check it.

Wait , What! You changes the question ! Dude that's not fair .I had answered as per the previous question and got marked wrong . Please refrain from doing so in the future , if your answer is wrong , ask Calvin sir to change it .

Note that Γ ( 6 ) = 5 Γ ( 5 ) \Gamma (6) = 5\Gamma (5) so the other answer can also be 5 6 × 5 × 5 × 6 × 5 = 625 \frac {5}{6} \times 5 \times 5 \times 6 \times 5 = 625

No the other answer can't be 625 because c should be same a=5; b=6; c=6.

We can use Laplace transforms also. Simple......:-)
