Homework Statement


e^((ln(x))^2)=O(1)?
as x->0

Homework Equations


g(x)=O(f(x)) => |g(x)|<K|f(x)| as x->0 in this case but can approach any value as desired.
K<infinity

The Attempt at a Solution


We can try numbers for small x but non zero that satisfy the inequality however are we allowed to manipulate infinities? Somehow I think that the equality shouldn't stand.

I know that x^2 does not equal O(x) when x->infinity but does equal when x->0

We can look at it this way, g(x)=O(f(x)) => |g(x)|<K|f(x)| as x->0, K<infinity => lim x->0 |g(x)/f(x)| is finite.

The limit is infinity as x->0. How can this be O(1)?
 
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...
