∫_0 ^∞ (1/((1+x^2 )^n ))dx x^2 =u⇒2x=(du/dx) =(1/2)∫_0 ^∞ (u^(−(1/2)) /((1+u)^n ))du (u/(1+u))=t⇒(1/((1+u)^2 ))=(dt/du) =(1/2)∫_0 ^1 ((t/(1−t)))^(−(1/2)) (1+u)^(2−n) dt=(1/2)∫_0 ^1 t^(−(1/2)) (1−t)^(1/2) (1−t)^(n−2) dt =(1/2)β((1/2),n−(1/2))=(1/2).((Γ((1/2))Γ(n−(1/2)))/(Γ(n)))=((√π)/2).((Γ(n−(1/2)))/(Γ(n)))
