Question

The integral 01x(1x)n dx is equal to:\int_{0}^{1} x(1 - x)^n \, dx \text{ is equal to:}​​

A.

1(n+2)(n+3)\frac{1}{(n+2)(n+3)}​​

B.

1(n+1)(n+2)\frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}​​

C.

1(n)(n+1)\frac{1}{(n)(n+1)}​​

D.

1(n1)(n2)\frac{1}{(n-1)(n-2)}​​

Correct option is B

We have 

I=01x(1x)ndxI=01(1x)[1(1x)]ndxI=01(1x)xndx=01(xnxn+1)dxI=[xn+1n+1xn+2n+2]01I=(1n+11n+2)0=1(n+1)(n+2)\begin{aligned}I &= \int_{0}^{1} x(1 - x)^n dx \\I &= \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x)[1 - (1 - x)]^n dx \\I &= \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x) x^n dx = \int_{0}^{1} (x^n - x^{n+1}) dx \\I &= \left[ \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} - \frac{x^{n+2}}{n+2} \right]_0^1 \\I &= \left( \frac{1}{n+1} - \frac{1}{n+2} \right) - 0 = \frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}\end{aligned}​​
