I need to find the normal vector to:

z=2e^{(x+y)}+8

So I did the following:

-8=2e^{(x+y)}-z
\nabla F=<2e^{(x+y)},2e^{(x+y)},-1>

Did I do this correctly?

Although it's been a long time since I had this, I think yes. But it's not normalized, I don't know if you need a unit normal vector.
EDIT: Of course it's correct. Just struck me.
 
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...
