The Attempt at a Solution



Do I have to integrate the first function to find out f(x)? I think that function is non-integrable.

If you write the 2nd integral as: \int ^4 _1 \frac {3e^{sint^3}} {t} dt and then let x = t3, you will see the way :wink:
 
I got it. But then there is no use of the first sentence, right?
 
"Fundamental Theorem of Calculus"! That first part is telling you that, in the second part, you are integrating the derivative of f.
 
@Abdul Quadeer: Not sure what you meant :rolleyes:
 
Once you make the substitution u= x^3 as hikaru1221 suggested, you will be integrating (df/du)du. What is that integral?
 
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...
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
