Parameter Estimate Example: MoM, MLE (1)

Example) I have no idea where I found this example, Sorry!

Let Y1, Y2, …, Yn denotes random sample. f(y|\theta)= (\theta+1)y^\theta, 0<y<1, -1<\theta, and 
f(y|\theta)=0 otherwise. 
a) \hat{\theta}_{MoM} 
b) \hat{\theta}_{MLE}?

\triangleright Solution (a)
E(\theta)=\int_{0}^{1}y(\theta +1)y^\theta dy=\int_{0}^{1}(\theta +1)y^{\theta +1}dy =\frac{\theta +1}{\theta +2}\Rightarrow \bar{y}=\frac{\theta +1}{\theta +2}

\therefore \theta_{MoM}=\frac{2\bar{y}-1}{1-\bar{Y}} 

\triangleright Solution (b)
L(\theta|y)= \prod_{i}^{n}=f(y_{i}|\theta)=\prod_{i}^{n}(\theta+1)y_{i}^\theta=(\theta+1)^n\cdot(\prod y_{i})^\theta 

Now we take a log to find maximum likelihood. 
l(\theta)=nlog(\theta+1)+ \theta\sum logy_{i} 
l'(\theta)=\frac{n}{\theta+1}+\sum y_{i} = 0  (set to 0 to find a maximum)

\therefore \hat{\theta}_{MLE}=\frac{-n}{\sum log y_{i}}-1
