    The value of the integral \[I=\int_{\,0}^{\,1}{\,x{{(1-x)}^{n}}dx}\] is [AIEEE 2003]

    A)                 \[\frac{1}{n+1}\]             

    B)                 \[\frac{1}{n+2}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\] 

    D)                 \[\frac{1}{n+1}+\frac{1}{n+2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{0}^{1}{x{{(1-x)}^{n}}dx}\]                    \[-I=\int_{0}^{1}{-x{{(1-x)}^{n}}dx=\int_{0}^{1}{(1-x-1){{(1-x)}^{n}}dx}}\]                \[=\int_{0}^{1}{{{(1-x)}^{n+1}}dx-\int_{0}^{1}{{{(1-x)}^{n}}dx}}\]                \[=\left[ \frac{{{(1-x)}^{n+2}}}{-(n+2)} \right]_{0}^{1}-\left[ \frac{{{(1-x)}^{n+1}}}{-(n+1)} \right]_{0}^{1}=\frac{1}{n+2}-\frac{1}{n+1}\]                 \[\Rightarrow I=\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}.\]
