I used u substitution to get to this point:

\lim_{R\rightarrow\ 3-}} \int_{-3}^{R-3} (\frac{u + 3}{sqrt{u}}) du

is the only way to proceed from here using integration by parts?

If your calculations are correct up to this point, i do not think you need to use integ by parts. Simply just try to rearrange the integrand like this

(u+3)/u^1/2= u/u^1/2 +3/u^1/2 = u^1-1/2 +3u^-1/2 and i guess you will be fine!

ahhh, I didn't think to break up the fraction, for some reason I missed that

thanks :)
 
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...
