1. y=sec^{2}x and y=e^{2x}, in Quadrant I, for x\leq1. I need to calculate the area.



2. fundamental theorem



3. I'm using 0 and 1 as my lower and upper bounds and the answer I'm getting is -1.637 which is not reasonable. When I integrate using the calculator it's coming out to be 1.557. Where am I going wrong? Here's my work: (tan(1)-e^{2}/2) - (tan(o) - e^{0}/2)

Thanks.

Your answer is right, except that e^(2x)>sec^2(x) on that range, so you have an extra minus sign. I can't say what your calculator's problem is.
 
Alright thanks for your help. Appreciate it.
 
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...
