Evaluate the integral... ?:(

Homework Statement


Suppose that the function f and g and their derivatives have the following values at x=0, x=1.

f(0)=1, f(1)=3
f'(0)=5, f'(1)=\frac{1}{3}\right)
g(0)=1, g(1)=-4
g'(0)=\frac{1}{3}\right),g'(1)=-\frac{8}{3}\right)

Evaluate the integral:

\frac{d}{dx}\right)(f^(^3^)(x^1^/^2))| x=1

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


f(1)=g(1)

I know how to evaluate definite integrals and indefinate too, but i don't understand what it means by "evaluate the integral" in the question? I only see a derivative.

To my understanding...

\frac{d}{dx}\right)(f^(^3^)(x^1^/^2))| x=1 ...
= f^(^4^)(x^1^/^2)

So...
\frac{d}{dx}\right)(f^(^3^)(x^1^/^2))=\frac{d^4y}{dx^4}\right)

And multiplying the differential dx and integrating the integrand f^(^4^) will give you f^(^3^)(x^1^/^2) so somehow I am suppose to integrate f^(^3^)(x^1^/^2) until I get to f`(x) which should equal 5 or -1/3?

I honestly don't understand the how to even start what the question is asking me. I just transferred to a different school and the professor already taught basic definite and indefinite integration in calculus I which I never learned in my calculus I class.

What does g have to do with it? Are you sure you have stated the problem correctly?
 


Yes, I just read the question again and it's word for word. It's has a part A and B, but part b has no function g either. *shrug*
 
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...
