Lim as n-> inf: 5^x/x
So I used l'hopital's rule and came up with (5^x)(ln(5))
As n becomes progressively larger, it is continually multiplied by ln(5) but the overall number still goes to infinity. Is that correct logic?

There is no 'n' in your expression.
 
Sorry, replace the x's with n's. Skipped a step in my haste to type.
 
After you apply L Hospital for the first time u get 5^nln(5)/1 now write that expression as ln5/5^-n...this is a form of k/0 where k is a constant...this form will tend to infinity if k is positive else minus infinity
 
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...
