Homework Statement



Show that y can be written as a function of x near the point (x,y)=(0,0) with

x3+y3=6x+2y and what y'(x) is equal to.

Homework Equations



Implicit Function Theorem

The Attempt at a Solution



By the Implicit Function Theorem, if the partial derivative of y, Fy, does NOT equal 0 at a certain point then y can be

written as a function of x at that certain point.

First, I set the equation to x3+y3-6x-2y=0=F(x,y)

Then I use the formula:

y'(x)=(-Fx)/(Fy)

Thus y'(x)=(-3x2+6)/(3y2-2)

In other words, I am trying to show that the partial derivatives with respect to y

(Fy) does NOT equal zero.

At (0,0), Fy=3(0)2-2= -2

And at y'(0,0)=-3 I am not sure if I applied the Implicit Function Theorem correctly in this problem. Can

anyone see if I miss anything? Remember I ONLY have to show that that y can be

written as a function of x near the point (x,y)=(0,0), nothing less or more.

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
