Homework Statement


\intx^{n}2^{x}dx = \frac{2}{ln 2} - \frac{n}{ln 2} \intx^{n-1}2^{x}dx

For n is greater or equal to 1, find \intx^{3}2^{x}dx

This is a definite integral from 0 to 1


The Attempt at a Solution



My first question is, after reducing this once, you are left with x^{2}, and attempting to reduce that again means the constant outside the integral will effectively become 0, therefore the constant term outside the integral will be 0 no matter how many more times you reduce it, and after you do the integral, 0 times the integrated result will be zero. What am I not seeing properly here?

Ignoring that and continuing to do the reduction, I get \frac{1}{ln 2}*\frac{1}{ln 2} which doesn't seem right to ignore it anyways.

That is to say, when it becomes x^{1}, and you apply the formula again, you'll get \frac{1}{ln 2} outside the integral, then you're left with x^{0} which is 1, and effectively you just integrate 2^{x} which becomes \frac{1}{ln 2}2^{x}, substituting 0 and 1, and doing the maths, you're left with \frac{1}{ln 2}*\frac{1}{ln 2} as the answer.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
