Homework Statement



1. Calculate Fxy(.25,.25)
2. Calculate Fx(.25)
3. Calculate Fy(.25)


Homework Equations



f(xy) = 2 (x+y) if 0\leq x \leq 1 and 0 \leq y \leq x



The Attempt at a Solution



1. without showing all of the steps of my integration (because I apparently can't work this editor too well), I get:

(2/3) * x^3 + (1/3) * x^3 0|.25

= .016



2. (2/3) * x^3 + (1/3) * x^3 0|.25

= .016



3. y + y^2 0|.25
= .3125


Did you guys come up with the same numerical answers as I did for this?

.016 is approximately 1/64 so your answers are almost correct.

But why not give exact fractional values?
 
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...
