Gamma Function Connection

Gamma Function: Gamma(n) = integral(0 to infinity) t^(n-1) * e^(-t) dt = (n-1)! for positive integers.

Beta Function: B(m,n) = integral(0 to 1) x^(m-1)(1-x)^(n-1) dx = Gamma(m)*GammanGamma\frac{n}{Gamma}(m+n)

Connection to Wallis: integral0topi2\frac{0 to pi}{2} sin^(2m-1) x * cos^(2n-1) x dx = Bm,n2\frac{m,n}{2} = Gamma(m)Gamman(2Gamma(m+n)\frac{n}{(2*Gamma(m+n)})

JEE Relevance: While the Gamma function itself is beyond JEE scope, knowing Gamma12\frac{1}{2} = sqrt(pi) explains why integral0topi2\frac{0 to pi}{2} sqrt(sin x cos x) dx involves sqrt(pi).
