How to Prove Gamma and Beta Function Identities?

AI Thread Summary
To prove the identities involving the beta and gamma functions, the first identity states that G(n)G(1-n) equals pi/sin(n*pi). The second identity defines the beta function as B(m,n) = (m-1)! / (n(n+1)...(n+m+1)). The original poster attempted to use the beta function for the first identity but was unsuccessful. They suggested that the discussion might be better suited for a math homework help forum. Further insights or methods for proving these identities are needed.

Homework Statement



Need to prove these 2 identities of beta function & gamma function ?

Homework Equations



G(n)G(1-n)= pi/sin npi

B(m,n) = (m-1)! / n (n+1)...(n+m+1)


The Attempt at a Solution



I tired using beta function in 1st one but did not get the solution .

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
