question about reduction formula posted below. Anyone with knowledge on calculus are welcomed!
Let \[I _{n}= \int\limits_{0}^{1} x ^{n}\left( 1-x \right)^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2}}dx\]
Show that, \[n \ge 1, \left( 3+2n \right)I _{n}=2nI _{n-1}\]
Hence found the exact value of I subscript 3

Where have I 'seen' you before...? name looks familiar
Regardless... I know next-to-nothing about reduction formulas... however, let's have a look see at this :D
If you are living in Beijing, then you might know me personally
Unlikely... besides, my grandparents are (originally) from Guangzhou XD
Back to the question...

^That's like a spoiler... I will resist clicking on that link :D
@Loser66 , Aha! another great mathematician comes online!
Are you serious, or just kidding
About what?
Never mind, I've figured it out from the page, suggesting you have a look. Here is the link to the question paper http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge%20International%20A%20and%20AS%20Level/Mathematics%20-%20Further%20(9231)/9231_w11_qp_11.pdf
And to think I was having a real good think XD
Although the solution seems very straightforward.
