how do i prove this limit?

lim
n->inf \frac{0+2+4+...2n}{1+3+...(2n+1)}=1

i think that its because of the fact that 2n is so big compared to the rest, and compared to the 1 in (2n+1) that their affect on the lim is none, is this correct?
how do i write this mathematically>

You could always find a closed form expression for the sum of the first n even integers and the first n odd integers, and then substitute those.

One could also note that the bottom line is always (n+1) more than the top line... and then get the expression for the even integers, and use l'Hopitals rule and keep the high-order terms.
 
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...
