[1BM]We define the Gamma function \(Ξ“:(0,∞)→ℝ\) as

\[ Ξ“(x) = ∫_ 0^∞ t^{x-1}e^{-t}\, {\mathbb {d}}t~ . \]

  • Show that \(Ξ“(x)\) is well defined for \(x{\gt}0\) real.

  • Show that \(Ξ“(x+1)=x Ξ“(x)\) and deduce that \(Ξ“(n+1)=n!\) for \(nβˆˆβ„•\).

  • Show that \(Ξ“(x)\) is analytic.

    (You can assume that derivatives of \(Ξ“\) are \(Ξ“^{(n)}(x) = ∫_ 0^∞ (\log t)^ n t^{x-1}e^{-t}\, {\mathbb {d}}t\); those are obtained by derivation under integral sign.)
