Harmonic Functions(HELP!)

Could someone please help me with this proof.

Show that if O(x,y) is harmonic, then Ox - iOy is analytic(you may assume that O has continuous partial derivatives of all orders.)

How would I go about solving this.

what's the definition of a harmonic function?

what's the definition of an analytic function (rather, how do you judge if a function is analytic--ie, cauchy-riemann equations)?

so start with supposing that your function is harmonic.

then try and show that your function must also satisfy the cauchy-riemann equations for all x and y.
 
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...
