given two series,
An and Bn, where one converges and one doesn't in the same limits

what can be said about
(An*Bn)
and (An+Bn)
in those limits

for (An+Bn) i said that since\sum(An+Bn)=\sumAn+\sumBn
so since one is infinite the sum must also be

but for (An*Bn) i don't think the same logic works.
what can be said about it?

Well, nothing. It can either converge, or diverge, it depends on what A_n and B_n are. Try thinking of a pair of functions where one converges and the other diverges, but where their product converges, and another pair where it diverges.
 
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...
