Question:

The value of \[ \int_0^1 x(1-x)^9\,dx \] is

Show Hint

Use beta function for integrals of the form \(\int_0^1 x^a(1-x)^b\,dx\).
  • \(\frac{1}{110}\)
  • \(\frac{1}{120}\)
  • \(-\frac{1}{110}\)
  • \(-\frac{1}{120}\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
Use beta function: \[ \int_0^1 x^{m-1}(1-x)^{n-1}\,dx=B(m,n) \]

Step 2:
Here: \[ x(1-x)^9=x^{2-1}(1-x)^{10-1} \] So, \[ m=2,\qquad n=10 \]

Step 3:
\[ B(2,10)=\frac{\Gamma(2)\Gamma(10)}{\Gamma(12)} \]

Step 4:
\[ =\frac{1!\,9!}{11!} \] \[ =\frac{1}{11\cdot 10} \] \[ =\frac{1}{110} \] \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{110}} \]
