Homework Statement



I'm not sure how the graph looks like for the path |z-i| = pi

Homework Equations



I know that if the function is |z-i|=1 means a unit circle center at i


The Attempt at a Solution



Does that mean |z-i|=pi is a circle center at pi with a radius of pi?

Thanks

No. Remember that |a- b| is the distance from a to b in the complex plane. |z- i| says that the distance from the variable point z to the point i is pi. Yes, that's a circle. What is its center?
 
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...
