The Attempt at a Solution



I forgot how to do this integration with another method. I think I can do it through Trigonometric Method. But I remember that there is still another way to do it without using Trigonometric Method. Anyone can show me steps to do it? Thanks.

Well, for the trig method you would use the substitution let x = ytan(u)
If that gets you the right answer then why bother with another method. I can't think of a different method right now that would work.
 
Take the derivative of \displaystyle \frac{x}{y^2\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\,, treating y as a constant, of course. Then see if you can reverse the process.
 
Try a substitution x=y \sinh t. The resulting integration will be trivial.
 
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...
