Beta Function Calculator calculator can be used to compute the Beta function \( \text{Beta}(x, y) \) for given values of \( x \) and \( y \). The Beta function is an important special function in mathematics used in probability theory, statistics, and other fields.
Learn how to use the Beta Function Calculator calculator and its working principles
The Beta function \( \text{Beta}(x, y) \) is a special function that is related to the Gamma function. It is defined as the integral of \( t^{x-1} (1-t)^{y-1} \) from 0 to 1. The Beta function is used in various areas of mathematics and statistics, including probability theory, combinatorics, and the calculation of certain integrals.
The Beta function can be computed using the Gamma function as follows:
\[ \text{Beta}(x, y) = \frac{\Gamma(x) \Gamma(y)}{\Gamma(x+y)} \]
If you enter \( x = 2 \) and \( y = 3 \), the calculator will compute \( \text{Beta}(2, 3) \) as follows:
\[ \text{Beta}(2, 3) = \frac{\Gamma(2) \Gamma(3)}{\Gamma(5)} = \frac{1! \cdot 2!}{4!} = \frac{1 \cdot 2}{24} = \frac{2}{24} = \frac{1}{12} \approx 0.08333 \]
