I = ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x 1 7 2 9 ) 1 7 2 8 d x ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x 1 7 2 9 ) 1 7 2 9 d x
If I can be represented as b a , where a and b are coprime positive integers, find a + b .

did it same way
This can be done by IBP or beta function .As i recently learned about beta fn i will post solution using it.
Let I m = ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x c ) m d x
Let x c = t
c x c − 1 d x = d t
also x c − 1 = t c c − 1
So I m = c 1 ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − t ) m ( t c c − 1 1 ) d t ⇒ c 1 ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − t ) m ( t c 1 − 1 ) d t
Hence I m = c 1 β ( m + 1 , c 1 )
Similarly I m − 1 = c 1 β ( m , c 1 )
I m − 1 I m = β ( m , c 1 ) β ( m + 1 , c 1 )
Using β ( x , y ) = Γ ( x + y ) Γ ( x ) Γ ( y )
I m − 1 I m = Γ ( m + c 1 + 1 ) Γ ( m ) Γ ( m + c 1 ) Γ ( m + 1 )
Using Γ ( s + 1 ) = s Γ ( s )
I m − 1 I m = c m + 1 c m
Put c = m = 1 7 2 9 and get answer.
Good usage of the recursion of the beta function to replace the iterative integration by parts.
Damn it, i used the same method but had a mistake in addition. nice solution btw(+1).
Congrats on learning beta function! Now try learning digamma function.

Learned that too!!! yay

where did you learn the beta function, i want to learn it too as i did solve it by using by parts but it took too long.

I realised I had posted solution to it with my previous account. At that time beta function used to be scary form me :P

I'll use Integration by Parts I m , n = ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x m ) n = [ x ( 1 − x m ) n ] 0 1 + m n ∫ 0 1 x m ( 1 − x m ) n − 1 = 0 − m n ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x m − 1 ) ( 1 − x m ) n − 1 = − m n ( ∫ 0 1 x m ( 1 − x m ) n − ∫ 0 1 x m ( 1 − x m ) n − 1 ) = m n ( I m , n − 1 − I m , n ) ⇒ I m , n = m n ( I m , n − 1 − I m , n ) ⇒ I m , n − 1 I m , n = m n + 1 m n We are required to find 2 m n + 1 when m=n=1729 Hence required answer=2(1729)(1729)+1= 5 9 7 8 8 8 3
