Let $t=1-x \Rightarrow x=1-t,\ dx=-dt$.
As $x:0\to1$,
$t:1\to0$.
\[ \int_{0}^{1} x(1-x)^n\,dx \]
\[ = \int_{1}^{0} (1-t)\,t^n\,(-dt) \]
\[= \int_{0}^{1} \big(t^n - t^{n+1}\big)\,dt \]
\[ = \left[\frac{t^{n+1}}{n+1}-\frac{t^{n+2}}{n+2}\right]_{0}^{1} = \frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}. \]
Simplify: \[ \frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}=\frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}. \]
Answer: $\boxed{\dfrac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}}$ (valid for $n>-1$).
