Gamma and Beta Functions

1) Prove that L t   = (sn + 1) for any real number n  −1. Hence, find Laplace transform

t e −3t
5/ 2
i) t ii) t

2) Given that n is a positive integer and x is a real number, show that


(n − 1)!
 (x , n ) =
x (x + 1)( x + 2). . . ( x + n − 1)
Hence, evaluate  (0.1 , 3)

3) With and without using Legendre duplication formula show that
