Calculate some function involves complex arguments by the results of real arguments

35 Views Asked by At

Can we directly calculate some function involves complex arguments by the result of real arguments?

For example, the beta function $$\rm{Beta}(n+1,2) = \Gamma(n+1)/\Gamma(n+3) = 1/((n+1)(n+2))$$ $$|\rm{Beta}(jn+1,2)| = |\Gamma(jn+1)/\Gamma(jn+3)| = 1/\sqrt{(n^2+1)(n^2+4)}$$ and by Wolfram Mathematica, it seems like $\Gamma(jn+1)/\Gamma(jn+3) = 1/((jn+1)(jn+2))$.

Can we confirm $\rm{Beta}(jn+1,2) = 1/((jn+1)(jn+2))$? Can we apply the same rule to other functions?

Thanks in advance!
