Prove that the limit when x--> infinite of (2n+1)/(n+1) =2
So for ε > 0,exists N>0 so that n>N => |x -a|< ε
What I do is | (2n+1)/(n+1) |< ε, I do the math actions and I have |-1/(n+1)| < ε... NOW,what I don't get,when I remove the absolute value,do I get 1/(n+1)<ε or NOT?

I believe you want to use this definition :

\forall \epsilon&gt;0, \exists N | n&gt;N \Rightarrow |a_n - L| &lt; \epsilon

So what is |a_n - L|? Plug in your info and start massaging it into a suitable expression.
 
I know what to do,I just want to know if the part when I remove the absolute value is correct :)

This is incorrect. You should start with
|(2n + 1)/(n + 1) - 2| < ε

It looks like the above is what you were working with, but didn't write it correctly.

Yes.

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...
