Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #102

For real n>−1, evaluate \(\int_0^1x^2(1-x)^n dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 2/[(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)]
  1. Set u=1−x to obtain ∫₀¹(1−u)²uⁿdu.
  2. Expand and integrate the convergent powers: 1/(n+1)−2/(n+2)+1/(n+3).
  3. Over a common denominator the numerator is (n+2)(n+3)−2(n+1)(n+3)+(n+1)(n+2)=2.
  4. Therefore the integral equals 2/[(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)].

  • [0.5 marks] Set u=1−x to obtain ∫₀¹(1−u)²uⁿdu.
  • [1 mark] Expand and integrate the convergent powers: 1/(n+1)−2/(n+2)+1/(n+3).
  • [1 mark] Over a common denominator the numerator is (n+2)(n+3)−2(n+1)(n+3)+(n+1)(n+2)=2.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore the integral equals 2/[(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)].
