Two antiderivatives and their constant difference

You are given that I=∫x(1−x)1/2 dxI=\displaystyle\int x(1-x)^{1/2}\,dx.

(i) Use integration by parts to find an expression for II.

(ii) Use the substitution u2=1−xu^2=1-x to find another expression for II.

(iii) Show algebraically that your answers to parts (i) and (ii) differ by a constant.
