Proof (3):
n + 1 = n!
From Gamma-Beta function we know,
α
n = ∫ e − x x n −1 dx ; n > 0 Now putting n = 1 we get,

α
∴ n + 1 = ∫ e − x x n+1−1dx

∴ n + 1 = n n ...............(1)
Now, replacing ‘n’ by n − 1, n − 2, n − 3,................in (1)
 n = n − 1(n − 1)
n − 1 = (n − 2)( n − 2 )
n − 2 = (n − 3)( n − 3 )
i.e, n − 1 = n(n − 1)(n − 2)(n − 3)..........3.2.1 = n!
∴ n + 1 = n! (Proved.)
Proof (4):

But, we know,

∴∫ x m −1

∴ β (m, n) = β (n, m) (Pr oved .)

Multiplying both sides of (1) by e − x x m−1 then,

Given that,
