Relation Between Beta and Gamma functions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between the Beta and Gamma functions, specifically focusing on the integral representation of the Gamma function. The integral in question, \int_0^\infty e^{-x(1+ y)}x^{m+n-1}\,dx, is shown to equal \frac{\Gamma(m + n)}{(1 + y)^{m + n}}. This relationship is derived from the properties of the Gamma function and its application in evaluating integrals involving exponential decay and polynomial terms.

So, my teacher showed me this proof and unfortunately it is vacation now. I don't understand what just happened in the marked line. Can someone please explain?

The line asserts that <br /> \int_0^\infty e^{-x(1+ y)}x^{m+n-1}\,dx = \frac{\Gamma(m + n)}{(1 + y)^{m + n}}. How would you apply the given formulae to arrive at that?
