Homework Statement



Solve ln(sinh-1(x)) = 1
(Just give the formula for x, no calculator is necessary)
sinh-1(x) = asinh


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



When I did this, I knew sinh-1(x) = ln(x + sqrt.(x^2 +1), but the equation would look like
ln(ln(x + sqrt.(x^2 + 1 )) = 1, which looks weird because I don't what to do afterwards
So then I tried exponentiate both sides and it will be asinh(x) = e then multiplying both sides by sinh, so my answer is x = sinhe, is this right?

You do NOT 'multiply both sides by sinh'- there is no multiplication involved here! After you take the exponential of both sides you have sinh-1(x)= e. Now take sinh of both sides of that: sinh(sinh-1(x))= sinh(e).

What is sinh(sinh-1(x))?
 
oh sorry, What i meant was "take" not "multiply" even though i typed multiply -_-

ok so then, sinh(sinh-1(x)) = sinh-1(sinh(x)) = x ?
 
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...
