let x(t)= 1+t and y(t)= t/2

trace (x(t),y(t)) as t advances from 0 to 2.

Im just unsure of how to trace it. Is it pretty much the same thing as tracing it from 0 to 2pi except I am leaving out the pi?

So axis in term of t:
positive x= 0 or 2
positive y= 1/2
negative x= 1
negative y= 1.5

Pick a few values of t (like t=0,1/2,1,etc.) and write down the pairs (x(t),y(t)) for each of them. Plot these points and sketch the curve through them.
 
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...
