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 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
