Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Short Answer #50

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

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 1/[(n+1)(n+2)]
  1. Set u=1−x; the integral becomes ∫₀¹(1−u)uⁿdu=∫₀¹(uⁿ−u^(n+1))du.
  2. Because n>−1 both terms converge, giving 1/(n+1)−1/(n+2)=1/[(n+1)(n+2)].
  3. Therefore the integral equals 1/[(n+1)(n+2)].

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Set u=1−x; the integral becomes ∫₀¹(1−u)uⁿdu=∫₀¹(uⁿ−u^(n+1))du.
  • [1 mark] Because n>−1 both terms converge, giving 1/(n+1)−1/(n+2)=1/[(n+1)(n+2)].
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore the integral equals 1/[(n+1)(n+2)].
