Mathematics Question on Integration by Parts
If I(m,n) =∫01tm(1+t)ndt, then the expression for I(m, n) in terms of I(m + 1, n - 1) is
A
m+12n−m+1n(m+1,n−1)
B
m+1nI(m+1,n−1)
C
m+12n+m+1nI(m+1,n−1)
D
m+1mI(m+1,n−1)
Answer
m+12n−m+1n(m+1,n−1)
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is:(A) m+12n−m+1n(m+1,n−1).
Here, I(m,n) =∫01tm(1+t)ndt, reduce into I(m + 1, n - 1)
[we apply integration by parts taking (1 + t)n as first
and tm as second function]
∴i(m,n)=[(1+t)n.m+1tm+1]01−∫01n(1+t)n−1.m+1tm+1dt
=m+12n−m+1n∫01(1+t)(n−1),tm+1dt
∴I(m,n)=m+12n−m+1n.I(m+1,n−1)
