Homework Statement



\lim_{t \to 3^{+}} \frac {y+1}{(y-2)(y-3)}

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I thought that this problem looked pretty straight forward but i am obviously doing something wrong. What I did was:

multiply the binomials:

\lim_{t \to 3^{+}} \frac {y+1}{y^{2}-5y+5}

and then apply the limit:

\frac {3+1}{3^{2}-15+5} = \frac {4}{-1} = -4

but this is WAY off because the answer is suppose to be infinity, so what did I forgot from the lesson?...

Check your multiplication again.
 
ha, yep, ok thanks
 
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...
