I don't understand where the last term comes from, the one that's an integral of a partial derivative. When I solve it using the FTC I get the same answer minus that term.

If I differentiate first then integrate I get that term but then none of the others.

Work it out for yourself from first principles: if
F(x) = \int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(t,x) \, dt,
then
\frac{d}{dx} F(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{F(x+h) - F(x)}{h}
Work out the value of the numerator for small ##h > 0##; you will see that in general it involves several types of terms, and these give limits that are the terms in the final result you want.
 
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...
