Homework Statement



Supposed f(z(0))=g(z(0))=0 and that f'(z(0)) and g'(z(0)) exist where g'(z(0)) is not equal to 0. Use definition (10, section 19 of derivative to show that :

lim z->z(0) (f(z)/g(z))=f'(z(0))/g'(z(0))


Homework Equations



definition 1: f'(z(0))=lim z->z(0) f(z)-f(z(0))/(z-z(0)

The Attempt at a Solution



f'(z(0))= lim (z->z(0)) f(z)-f(z(0))/(z-z(0))=f(z)-0/(z-z(0))=f(z)/(z-z(0)); Not sure where I should with with this proof. Help.

You started off really good, except you forgot the carry the limit operator through, which is important. Now that you've simplified f'(z(0)), do the same for g'(z(0)) ! Remember to use all the information you're given.
 
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...
