f is analytic and has all orders of derivatives.

I'm trying to prove something here but doing this makes me uneasy... is there anything wrong with saying:

If |f(z)| \leq |z^{n}| then,

|f'(z)| \leq |nz^{n-1}| so

|f''(z)| \leq |n(n-1)z^{n-2}|
.
.
.

|f^{n}(z)| \leq n!z^{0}

|f^{n}(z)| \leq n!

|f^{n+1}(z)| \leq 0

|f^{n+1}(z)| = 0

I can find no support for taking the derivative of the inequality like this in my calc book.

Taking the derivative of both sides of the inequality is not justified. For example, consider f(x) = sin(e^x) for x > 1. |f(x)| < x^2 but it is not that case that |f'(x)| = |e^x cos(e^x)| < 2x (for example, when x=ln(2*pi)). However, the fact that youre comparing an analytic function to a polynomial in z makes me think that Taylor's theorem may help you.

Thanks. IT just seemed way too easy.

How do they solve differential inequalities then, I wonder.
 
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...
