GAMMALN(x)

• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x} is the number

Description

• This function gives the natural logarithm of the absolute value of the Gamma Function.
• The functions Digamma and Trigamma are the first and second derivatives of the logarithm of the Gamma Function.
• This is often called the Polygamma function.
• Gamma, Lgamma, Digamma and Trigamma functions are internal generic primitive functions.
• Normally the number $etothepower{GAMMALN(x)}$, where Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x} is an integer, is same as Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (x-1)!} .

3. GAMMALN(1) = 0.00018319639111644828(calci)
4. GAMMALN(-10) = NAN, because Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x<0 }
