Step-by-step explanation
First, let's rewrite the given integral using the given form of the Beta function. The given integral is:
\int_\limits0^1\left(1-x^{10}\right)^{20} \mathrm{~d} x
To use the Beta function, let us make a substitution. Let . Then, or . The limits of integration change as follows: when , , and when , .
Substituting these into the integral, we have:
\int_\limits0^1 (1 - t)^{20} \cdot \frac{1}{10} t^{-\frac{9}{10}} dt
which simplifies to:
\frac{1}{10} \int_\limits0^1 (1 - t)^{20} t^{-\frac{9}{10}} dt
We recognize this integral as a Beta function where and .
Therefore, we can write this as:
Comparing this to , we have , , and .
Now we calculate :
So, the answer is Option D, 2120.
