PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY ASSIGNMENT;

1) TWO TUG BOATS A and B start AT THE SAME TIME AT SHORE AND RUN TOWARDS EAST WITH B MOVING 3 TIMES AS FAST AS A. AN OBSERVER USING A SEARCH LIGHT ON THE SHORE, AT A DISTANCE 1KM NORTH OF THE PORT KEEPS A AND B IN VIEW. WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM ANGLE OF SIGHT " θ " between the OBSERVERS VIEW of A and B.

REPLY WILL GREATLY APPRECIATED 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...
