(int with limits 1-0) x(1-x)^n dx

Prove this = n!/(n+2)!

thanks for looking

if its a prove question, you can kinda work backwards on it, but other wise, i wouldn't think about putting it in fatorial form

This is a special case of the Beta function, for positive integers m,n you can prove using integration by parts that

B(m+1,n+1) = (int with limits 1-0) x^m(1-x)^n dx
= m!n!/(m+n+1)!
