Given the parameterization of an inverted cycloid:
$$x(t)=r(t-\sin t)$$
$$y(t)=r(1+\cos t)$$
where $$t \in [0, 2\pi]$$.
I am asked to parameterize the curve in its natural parameter. To do it:
$$s=\int_{t_0}^{t} ||\vec{x}'(t*)||dt*$$
The modulus of the squared velocity is:
$$||\vec{x}'(t*)||=2r\sin(t/2)$$
Therefore, the integral is:
$$s=\int_{t_0}^{t} 2r\sin(t/2)dt*=-4r\cos(t/2)|_{t_0}^{t}=-4r(cos(t/2)-cos(t_0/2))$$
My doubt is, I can take any arbitrary value for the parameter $$t_0$$ for example $$t_0=\pi$$ which would simplify the expression or does it have to be $$t_0=0$$ since the parameter $$t$$ starts on 0.
Thank you very much for all the help.

Both will be parametrizations of the curve in a parameter that is path length along the curve. You will get a different interval for the parameter depending on your choice though as they will be path lengths from different points on the curve.

The ##t_0 = 0## choice does not seem half bad to me either to be honest. Note that ##\cos(0) - \cos(t/2) = 1 - \cos(t/2) = 2 \frac{1-\cos(t/2)}2 = 2 \sin^2(t/4)##.
 
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...
