I'm trying to study for my final on friday from past exams and their keys, and one question is the integral of 3x+3x

I get through it all fine, but then according to the key, the derivative of 33x is just (ln3)(3x)

so here's my question, I thought that by chain rule, it should end up being
(ln3)(33x)(ln3)(3x) shouldn't it?

What is the question -- 3x+3x or 33x? Assuming the latter, which would usually be parsed as 3(3x) the derivative would be what you have said.
 
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...
