Recursive Integration

Calculus Level 3

I integrated an integer n n with respect to a variable x x from 1 1 to n n , and had a result of c c . I then integrated c c with respect again to x x from 1 1 to c c and had a result of c 2 c_2 . Then I integrated c 2 c_2 with respect again to x x from 1 1 to c 2 c_2 and had a result of c 3 c_3 . If c 3 = n c_3 = n , and n n is a nonzero integer greater than 1, then the value of

1 n n x n d x \huge \int^{n}_{1} nx^{n} dx

can be expressed in the form a b \frac {a}{b} where a a and b b are coprime positive integers. Determine a + b a+b .


The answer is 17.
