please explain in more detail on how we come up with the answers below. Thanks in advance!
(formulas much appreciated)

Differentiate:
  1. 1
    y=e^x
    =e^x

  1. 2
    y=lnx
    =1/x

You should be careful of the notation you use. y = ln x = 1/x isn't true. You would be more correct in saying that if y = ln x, then y' = 1/x. Just thought id point that out.
 
yes good observation danago
 
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...
