Well, I got this equation f(x)=\frac{2\sin{2x}}{x} [-\pi,\pi]
So I took the 1st derivative, f'(x)=\frac{2(2x\cos{2x} - \sin{2x})}{x^2}
Then I set that equal to 0, and got 0=2x\cos{2x} - \sin{2x}
But I do not see how to get the critical numbers, I also tried to do double angle, but that just resulted in more pain.:mad:
Any help, would be appreciated.:smile:

ya, i know, i though no one visited the mathematics section, because i was only able to join it by using the search tool. Also, i put a note for someone to delete my post in the other section.:smile:

btw, i posted back on you reply.:-p
 
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...
