Jn = The Integral between 0,1 of: x^(2n)sin(πx) dx n = 1,2,3,.......
Using integration by parts show that :
Jn+1 = 1/π² [π-(2n+1)(2n+2)Jn]
I'm intergrating by parts twice so that I get a term with Jn in it, except whenever I do it, my Jn terms cancel out, leaving me with only 1/π² [π-0].
Could someone please explain how to do this/where I'm going wrong?
also does it make a difference that some of the brackets are round and some are square?

Firstly, in this case, the square brackets are used to distinguish from round brackets.
Now, with the integral above, use integration by parts using u=x^(2n) and dv = sin(pi x) dx.
You get : -(1/pi) x^(2n) cos(pi x) + (2n/pi) Integral[x^(2n-1) cos(pi x) dx]
For this other integral, use int. by parts again, with u=x^(2n-1) and dv=cos(pi x) dx. You get :
(1/pi) x^(2n-1) sin(pi x) - ((2n-1)/pi) Integral[x^(2n-2) sin(pi x) dx]
Putting all this together:
-(1/pi) x^(2n) cos(pi x) + (2n/pi) { (1/pi) x^(2n-1) sin(pi x) - ((2n-1)/pi) Integral[x^(2n-2) sin(pi x) dx] }
Evaluating between x=0 and x=1, the term with sin(pi x) (outside the integrals) will vanish, and cos(pi x) will be 1 and -1 respectively. This will give :
J(n) = -(1/pi)[(1)^(2n) (-1) - 0] - [(2n)(2n-1)/pi^2] J(n-1)
J(n) = (1/pi) - [(2n)(2n-1)/pi^2] J(n-1) = (1/pi^2) [ pi - (2n)(2n-1) J(n) ]
