The Attempt at a Solution


I wonder if there is an
1.Epsilon Delta Proof
2.Proof using BigO SmallO notation.

Thanks

It is obviously true. There are a lot of ways to prove this. What kind of class is this for? Are you expected to be rigorous in your solutions? N-epsilon proofs and asymptotic behaviour are very different arguments in terms of the development required in an analysis setting.
 
Yes, this is for real analysis class
 
What tools do you have available? How was ln(n) derived?

There is a nifty theorem that says that if a sequence converges then any subsequence will converge to the same limit. This will enable you to look at ln(x)/x^c in R rather than in N.
 
Yes, we can use Bolzano Weierstrasse Theorem. Please feel free to proceed.
My level is on baby Rudin, the this is the first course in real analysis.
 
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...
