The integral ∫01x(1−x)ndx\int_{0}^{1} x(1-x)^n dx is equal to :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Using Beta function: ∫01xm−1(1−x)n−1dx=B(m,n)=(m−1)!(n−1)!(m+n−1)!\int_0^1 x^{m-1}(1-x)^{n-1}dx = B(m,n) = \frac{(m-1)!(n-1)!}{(m+n-1)!}.

Here m=2m=2, integrand exponent =n= n, so this is B(2,n+1)=1! n!(n+2)!=1(n+1)(n+2)B(2, n+1) = \frac{1!\,n!}{(n+2)!} = \frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}.
