Sorry, I thought I'd given a functional definition of the gamma function. Here is more detail.

quote:
gamma(x) = integral from 0 to inf of t^(x-1) exp(-t) dt.

The gamma function interpolates the factorial function. For
integer n, gamma(n+1) = n! (n factorial) = prod(1:n).

9*(√9)!-9-√9=42 I believe that's correct

(sqrt(9)!)!/9+9+gamma(sqrt(9)) = 91
(sqrt(9)!)!/9+9+ sqrt(9) = 92
(sqrt(9)!)!/9+9+sqrt(9)! = 95

Yes, minor corrections and all, but the concepts are there.

9!/9/(√9)!!-(√9)!=50
9*(√9)!-9/√9=51
9*(√9)!-(√9)!/(√9)=52
9*(√9)!-9/9=53
9*(√9)!-9+9=54
9*(√9)!+9/9=55
9*(√9)!+(√9)!/(√9)=56
9*(√9)!+9/√9=57
((√9)!/√9)^(√9)!-(√9)!=58
9!/9/(√9)!!+√9=59

Same caveat.

OH! 94 was staring me in the face. 94 = 99-(√9)-gamma(√9). Again, assuming gamma is good, which it seems to be.

pretty random numbers - 11, 13, 14, 23, 25, 29, 32, 34, 35, 37-39, 83-86. Only do these if you so desire - I don't want you to be up into the wee hours of the morning! [Smile]

or if they must have 4 nines

11 = (√9)!+(√9)!-9/9
13 = (√9)!+(√9)!+9/9

If the teacher doesn't allow the gamma function I wonder how she will justify her position.

It's the part of me that will sit down at a partially completed puzzle and work till it's done, barely getting up to eat (why I can't have puzzles and that sort of thing in the house) [Roll Eyes]

. I love it.

Edit: because it sounded dumb, saying essentially the same thing twice.

Try this one, I think it works. 85=[(9!/[(√9)!]!)+(√9)!]/(√9)!

Edit: Whoa, that's amazing, I think I was typing out my response when you posted yours Pop. But I bow to the master.

It just took extra time to type in the parentheses. Not mathematically necessary, but could be helpful for clarification. *wink*
