Find a 3x3 matrix produces the following 2D composites transformation by translation and reflection about the line x=-3

The attempt at a solution

I understand translation but how do you go about doing reflection? I'm guessing for reflection, I need to do a conjugation? So I need to move the line from the origin to x=-3.Do I simply multiply -3 to the standard matrix of the line about x?

I have asked in another site but no one seems to be answering. Any kind of help will be appreciated.

I done a little thinking and is it possible that the transformation for the reflection is the identity multiply the line.

so

1 0 -3 -3
X =
0 1 0 0

thus the transformation matrix for the reflection is

1 0 -3
0 1 0
0 0 1


Can anyone help? I really need the help.
 
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...
