gamma function original euler proof

18 Views Asked by At

I am reading Euler original paper about the definition of the Gamma function, there is this formula:

$$\int_0^1 x^{e}(1-x)^{n}dx = \frac{1\cdot2\cdots \cdot n}{(e+1)(e+2)\cdots (e+n+1)}$$

I should expand $\ (1-x)^{n}$ by the binomial theorem, but I can't prove the result.

Could someone please help me?
Thank you
