Homework Statement



I am confused because of the e, I don't know how to do algebra with them. I need to solve it and set it to 0 for an integration problem.

Homework Equations



Solve: 120.3 - e^(.15x) = e^(.15x)

The Attempt at a Solution



= 120.3 - e^(.15x) - e^(.15x)

I can set it to zero by trial and error, but is this part ^ at least correct?

Add e^.15x to both sides... Gives you 2e^.15x... Divide by 2... Do you know how to solve for e after? (you should)

Thanks for the help, got it :-)
 
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...
