Do you mean you are given the two graphs of the functions and asked to choose which one is for gamma or beta ?

The representation using gamma function is so interesting because we can benefit from the values of Gamma function . It is known that the gamma function has isolated singularities (or poles ) at negative integers and zero . That is to be understood using the following equation $\Gamma(x)= \lim_{n\to \infty }\frac{n! n^x }{x(x+1)(x+2) \cdots (x+n) }$ So the function will explode at these values . Of course the graph of beta function on the other hand cannot be drown on the 2-D space because we have two inputs . Suppose on the other hand we fixed some values $\beta(x,1)= \frac{\Gamma(x) }{\Gamma(x+1)}=\frac{1}{x}$ Defined on the whole space except at 0 $\beta(x,\frac{1}{2})= \frac{ \sqrt{\pi } \Gamma(x) }{\Gamma(x+\frac{1}{2})}$ Defined on the whole space except at negative integers , 0, -1/2 .
