another defination of n surprise_(factorial)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

prove \[\int _0^1 (\ln x)^ndx=n!\]

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

surprise!!!!!

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

\[\int_0^1(\ln x)^n dx= n!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\]

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

\[\Large u=\ln x, e^u=x, e^udu=dx\] \[\large\int_0^1(\ln x)^ndx=\int_0^1u^ne^udu=\fbox{stuck xD}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the fact that ln x is not continuous on x=0 a problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my guess is induction plus parts, but i could be wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for this questionit says n is \[\Large even\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well that is good because \[\int_0^1ln(x)dx=-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by parts\[f=\ln^n x,g=1\\\int x\ln^nxdx=x \ln^n x|_0^1-n\int_0^1 x(\ln^{n-1}x)\frac{1}{x} dx \] \[I_n=-nI_{n-1}\implies I_n=-n(-(n-1)I_{n-2})=...\]

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

\[\Large\int_0^1(\ln x)^ndx \\\Large=\left[x(\ln x)^n-\int xd(\ln x)^n\right]_0^1 \\\Large=\left[x(\ln x)^n-\int n(\ln x)^{n-1}dx\right]^1_0 \\\Large=\left[x(\ln x)^n-nx(\ln x)^{n-1}+\int n(n-1)(\ln x)^{n-2}dx\right]_0^1 \\\Large=\cdots \\\Large \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[I_n=(-1)^nn(n-1)(n-2)...3*2*1=n!,\\if\\n=2k\]
