Hello everyone, I have time again to do more math so here i am!
I'm confused on what they want me to do here, I found A and B but they arn't pretty and i dind't even think they are right. Here is the problem, it has 2 inital conditions, both y(x) no y'(x) which also confused me.
ind y as a function of t if
y'' - 3y' = 0,
y(0) = 9, y(1) = 7 .
y(t) =

THanks! any help would be great!

There is a mistake in your line 7=Be^{3t}+A. Can you see it?


EDIT: As so emphatically :wink: pointed out below, that is your mistake.

A and B are CONSTANTS! In y(1)= 7, you didn't set t= 1.
 
Ahh thank you everyone, I friggin' got 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...
