Answer:

  length = 5√26

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length of f(x) on the interval [a, b] is given by ...

\displaystyle d=\int\limits_a^b{\sqrt{1+f'(x)^2}}\,dx

In the present case, we have ...

  f(x) = 5x -1

  f'(x) = 5

on the interval [a, b] = [-3, 2]. Then the arc length is ...

\displaystyle d=\int\limits_{-3}^2{\sqrt{1+5^2}}\,dx=\sqrt{26}(2-(-3))\\\\d=5\sqrt{26}

_____

<em>Check</em>

We're looking for the distance between the points ...

  (-3, f(-3)) = (-3, -16)

and

  (2, f(2)) = (2, 9)

Using the distance formula, the distance is ...

  d = √((2-(-3))² +(9-(-16))²) = √(5² +25²) = 5√(1+5²)

  d = 5√26 . . . . . matches the integral result

Well, you have to be given an interval. That is not an interval.

You should be given something like 1 \leq x \leq 2

If you add those fractions up you'll just get a point on the number line.

Find the LCD for all of them which is 9/6 - 4/6 + 3/6 = 8/6 = 2/3

You'll end up with a point on 2/3
