0!-1!=x

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

x=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = -1!

Directrix (directrix):

I'll bite. 0. 0! = 1 and 1! = 1 so 1-1 = 0.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

x is zero √ next question is there a inverse factorial operation? \[y!=z\] solve for y

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[y=z¡\] or something or do factorials only work in one direction, because the operation isnt a proper function

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ok so upside down exclamation point is a poor choice of symbol because it look like an i but is there something like \[z!^{-1}\]

Directrix (directrix):

is there a inverse factorial operation? NO Factorial operation is not one to one.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

well that is kinda what i was thinking. however i cant really say i understand why this is so

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

factorials occur in nature is this something to do with time evolution?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

if you restrict the domain of the gamma function it would be bijective.
