As an application, we give a simple proof for the hypergeometric summation formula introduced by Gustafson and the product formula of the $q$-integral introduced by Nassrallah-Rahman and Gustafson.Classical Analysis and ODEsA First Order $q$-Difference System for the $BC_1$-Type Jackson Integral and Its Applicationstext
