Hello
I have another question:
It says: Evaluate in closed form
n(sigma)i=1 (2^i - i^2)

(The n is above the sigma and the i=1 is below)
what i did so far is:
(sigma)2*2^i-1 (sigma)i^2
=(2(2^n -1)/2-1) - (n(n+1)(2n+1)/6)

now do I need to do something else to shorten this down... if so can someone help me with it...
THANKS!

That's already pretty much simplified. If you had to do anything to that, you might take the 2 inside the numerator of the first fraction.
 
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...
