Homework Statement


The problem is tough to type out correctly. Pasting problem statement image

The Attempt at a Solution



I just need to know how to proceed with the problem. Not the answer. This is the scan of my attempt.

I stuck about how i eliminate the x and y terms. I thought replacing it with GP series sum would help but it unnecessarily introduces a restriction on x and y.

Is the initial process in my worked out solution correct?
if not what direction do you suggest ?

.bump. either the question is tough or i ll have to type up the problem as they can't be bothered to see the images ...or question is too easy ..
 
I suggest posting this in the 'calculus & beyond' section. This definitely does not belong under the rubric 'introductory physics'.

I have to say that every time somebody links to an image which contains the problem statement and solution, I ignore the post.

Well not everyone is comfortable with latex and well some equations are just easier to write out. Each to his own I guess. Ill type them out if i can
 
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...
