Answer:
Recall Alternative Formulas for Curvature, which states t. ... s = ∫ a b [ f ′ ( t ) ] 2 + [ g ′ ( t ) ] 2 d t = ∫ a b ‖ r ′ ( t ) ‖ d t .
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer is 6√3 .
The arclength of a parametric curve can be found using the formula: L
=∫tfti√(dxdt)2+(dydt)2dt.
Since x and y are perpendicular, it's not difficult to see why this computes the arclength.
It isn't very different from the arclength of a regular function: L
=∫ba√1+(dydx)2dx
If you need the derivation of the parametric formula, please ask it as a separate question.
We find the 2 derivatives:dxdt
=3−3
t2dydt
=6t
And we substitute these into the integral:L
=∫√30√(3−3t2)2+(6t)2dt
And solve:
=∫√30√9−18t2+9t4+36t2dt
=∫√30√9+18t2+9t4dt
=∫√30√(3+3t2)2dt
=∫√30(3+3t2)dt
=3t+t3∣∣√30
=3√3+3√3
=6√3
Be aware that arclength usually has a difficult function to integrate. Most integrable functions look like the above where a binomial is squared and adding the two terms will flip the sign of the binomial.
