$\int_0^1 x^{3 / 2} \sqrt{1-x} d x$ is equal to

$\int_0^1 x^{3 / 2} \sqrt{1-x} d x$ is equal to
  1. $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{9}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{12}$
  4. $\frac{\pi}{16}$

Solution

Let $I=\int_0^1 x^{3 / 2} \sqrt{1-x} d x$ Put $x=\sin ^2 \theta \Rightarrow d x=2 \sin \theta \cos \theta d \theta$ $ \begin{aligned} \therefore I & =\int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin ^3 \theta \cdot \sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \theta} 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta d \theta \\ & =2 \int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin ^4 \theta \cos ^2 \theta d \theta \\ & =2\left[\frac{3 \cdot 1 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 4 \cdot 2} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}\right] \text { (using Wallis formula) } \\ & =\frac{\pi}{16} \end{aligned} $
