a is proportional to square root of (b *t2)
a is proportional to 1/c3

a is 5, when b = 9, t = 2, c = 3

Find a' when b'=25, t'=2, c'=5

My attempt:

= (25 root 5/12 root 3) 5

I think my steps are wrong, can someone help me!?

I think you are getting confused by the a / a' notation.

Let's start with this part. This means, that a contains both those factors, so you can write it as
a(b, t, c) = \frac{\sqrt{b t^2}}{c^3} \cdot k
The k here is some constant number (the proportionality factor). Note that I have written the left hand side as if it were a function of b, t and c.

Now, you know that a(b = 9, t = 2, c = 3) equals 5, you can use that to calculate the proportionality constant k.
 
Thank you so much for the help :)
 
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...
