Just taking derivatives.


The Attempt at a Solution


Basically, at first I was thinking I can differentiate because the original function is continuous at (0,0) so I do and get: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=d/dy+(d/dx+(xy(8x^2+%2B+4y^2)/(x^2%2By^2))). Correct me if I am wrong but I was thinking I had to differentiate this twice partially as the Wolfram Alpha link shows and then plug in (0,0) to the answer that Wolfram Alpha gave but that is also not defined. I tried taking the limit with y = 0 and x = 0 respectively and found that the limit as (x,y) => (0,0) of the differentiated part does not exist. I then thought that wait, having F(0,0) = 0 be defined does not mean that it is continuous so I shouldn't be able to differentiate in the first place. I am now completely confused as to what I need to do. :cry:

Try
d/dx (x*y*(8*x^2+4*y^2)/(x^2+y^2)) for x=0
and you get 4y
Next try
d/dy (x*y*(8*x^2+4*y^2)/(x^2+y^2)) for y=0
and you get 8x
So the second derivatives will give you different results.
 
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...
