Given f(t) = \frac{2e^{t} + 3e^{-t}}{e^{t} + 2e^{-t}} find f^{-1}(t)My attempt:
i worked for about half an hour but i think I am not doing the right thing. i tried multiplying it out, factorizing, pretty much just playing around with it.
OMMGG mayb got it

I would do this: write the equation as
x= \frac{2e^t+ 3e^{-t}}{e^t+ 2e^{-t}}
Now swap x and t:
t= \frac{2e^x+ 3e^{-x}}{e^x+ 2e^{-x}}
That "gives" the inverse function. Now you "only" have to solve for x!

Multiply that denominator on both sides:
te^x+ 2te^{-x}= 2e^x+ 3e^{-x}
Multiply the entire equation by ex
te^{2x}+ 2t= 2e^{2x}+ 3
Let y= e^x so that you get a quadratic in y
ty^2+ 2t= 2y^2+ 3
Solve that by a simple square root, then take ln of both sides to find x as a function of x.
 
ooooohh thankszzz
sooo x = ln\sqrt{\frac{3-2t}{t-2}}
 
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...
