Homework Statement



i have a couple of questions to anser and they start 'Give epsilon - delta proofs that the following functions are continuous at the indicated points.'

im guessing its not going to be too hard but what is the name of this epsilon - delta proof so i can search for and learn about it.

It is just one of the definitions of Continuity.

A fuction f is continuous at Xo if

For each \epsilon > 0 there exists \delta such that

|X-Xo|<\delta Implies |f(X)-f(Xo)|<\epsilon

For all X,Xo belonging to Domain of f
 
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...
