// MAIN //

/**
* Computes the delta in `beta(a,b,x) = prefix + delta * beta(a+k,b,x)`.
*
* ## Notes
*
* Specifically, the function calculates
*
* ```tex
* \frac{ (a)(a+1)(a+2)...(a+k-1) }{ (b)(b+1)(b+2)...(b+k-1) }
* ```
*
* The function should only called with small `k`; for large `k`, it is grossly inefficient.
*
* @private
* @param {number} a - input value
* @param {number} b - input value
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} k - input value
* @returns {number} ratio value
