I am having trouble with part of this question:

y'+2y= g(t) where g(t) =1 for 0<t<1 and g(t)= 0 t>1 and y(0)=0

I found y= 1/2 - (1/2 * e^-2t) for 0<t<1 but am having trouble with g(t)= 0.

I know y = Ce^-2t. y(0)=0 doesn't apply here since t>1 correct? Can you point me in the right direction?

What properties do you think the graph of y(t) should have at t=1?
 
should be undefined correct?
 
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...
