Evaluate the integral below:

2Pi times the integral of (2-y^2)(sqrt(1+4y^2)) dy from 0 to sqrt(2)

work shown:

using integration by parts I got:

let u= sqrt(1+4y^2)

therefore du= 4y/(4y^2+1)

let dv= (2-y^2)

therefore V= 2y- y^3/3

since Integration by Parts is (u)(V) - integral of (V)(du)

therefore i got 2*Pi times (sqrt(1+4y^2)(2y-y^3/3) - integral of (2y-y^3/3)(4y/sqrt(4y^2+1)) dy from 0 to sqrt (2)

after evaluating this i keep getting a more completed integration by parts.. and continuous iteration.. please help me solve this integral

Looks like you messed up du.

i believe my du is correct, even so... i believe my integration by parts method is tedious and it won't result in a solution.. i believe I'm using the wrong method to integrate this equation... please help
 
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...
