Is my reasoning correct?

Original problem:
In the finite completement topology on R(denoted by FCTR here), to what point or poionts does the sequense xn = 1/n converge?

I firstly prove that R with FCT does not a Hausdorff.

Let Tf be FCTR, x1, x2 are two arbitrary points of R, U1, U2 are their neighborhoods, respectively.

Then R with Tf is not a Hausdorff, since:
U1, U2 are open in R, U1, U2\inTf. R-U1 is finite, and R-U2 is finite. Then if U1\capU2=\phi (which is necessary for a Hausdorff space), then R-(U1\capU2) will be R. Whereas R-(U1\capU2) = (R-U1)\cup(R-U2), which is finite, by definition, and impossible to be R. Hence U1 and U2 are not disjoint. Thus R with FCT does not a Hausdorff.

Secondly I prove xn converge to every point of R.

Since for every x in R with FCT, the neighborhood of x is the set Ux=R-{xn}. And for every Ux, all xn are in Ux, thus xn converge to x. For the arbitrary of x, xn converge to every point of R.

Thx!

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...
