Homework Statement



(a) Show that the four points r1 = (1, 0, 1), r2 = (4, 3, 5), r3 = (6, 4, 6) and
r4 = (3, 1, 2) are coplanar and the vertices of a parallelogram. Let S
be the closed planar region given by the interior and boundary of this
parallelogram. An arbitrary point of S can be written as the convex linear
combination

\sum a_{j}r_{j} for j= 1 to j=4 \sum a_{j}=1 0<a_{j}<1

Show that the vertices, edges and interior of the rectangle R = [0, 1]×[0, 1]
are mapped onto the vertices, edges and interior of S by the linear map
(parametrization) r = r(u, v) : R → S

r = (x, y, z) = (1 + 3u + 2v, 3u + v, 1 + 4u + v), (u, v) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, 1]

Not sure

The Attempt at a Solution



I've shown that the four points are coplanar and the vertices of a parallelogram, however I really have no idea about the rest. Some guidance would be very much appreciated!

Sorry! I just saw that we can't use attachments to present question. I've edited the above post with the full question.
 
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...
