Alternate formula for $Γ(t + 1)$

72 Views Asked by At

I believe that:

$$\frac{d^{n}}{dx^{n}}[x^{n}] \equiv Γ(n + 1) \equiv n!$$

Would this have any application, if it has not already been discovered, which I am almost certain that it has?

This is not true, but it is close. The $n$th derivative of $x^n$ is $n!$. This can be proven by induction.

However $t=n-1$, thus $\Gamma(t+1)=\Gamma(n)=(n-1)!$. So you want $t=n$ instead.

So it was already known.
