i got this example:

i got a sequence of numbers
i can't understand from where they conclude that the limits of every sub sequence is {2,1,0,-1}

there are no sub sequences pointed out
there are no formulas for each sub sequence

how did they came with
that the limits of every sub sequence is {2,1,0,-1}
??

The obvious subsequences is {2, 2, 2, 2, ...}, {1, 1, 1, 1, ...}, {0, 0, 0, ...}, and {-1, -1, -1, 0, ...}. Those are the only convergent subsequences.
 
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...
