Homework Statement



I'm attached a pic of an example.

just wondering when i was trying the ratio test with a problem, i noticed numbers displayed in the pic.

is another way to write those examples like this: 5*5 or (x-1)*(x-1) ?

is that all the n+1 means?

also if there was something like: (n^7) / (n+1)^7 how can those cancel?
sorry about notation there.

thanks

nevermind.
 
\frac{n^7}{(n+1)^7} behaves like \frac{n^7}{n^7} for large n

so in your example it's just 1 if the limit goes to infinity. Can you see it?
 
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...
