Last month, we had a thread about Wallis' product exploration.
Googled "wallis product", I found this: Mathematical Analysis and the Mathematics of Computation, p.404, eqn. 7.87

\(\Large {1 \over \int_0^1 (1-x^{1/p})^q\;dx} = \binom{p+q}{p} = \binom{p+q}{q} = {1 \over \int_0^1 (1-x^{1/q})^p\;dx} \)

This explained why your integral had area of zero.

P.S. I do not know how above is derived. Any insight is appreciated.
