Answer: 16.97

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the distance from W to X, you can use the distance formula ...or... draw a right triangle using W and X as the vertices and use Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. I will solve using the latter.

The y-distance from W to X is 12.

The x-distance from W to X is 12.

hypotenuse² = 12² + 12²

= 144 + 144

= 288

hypotenuse = $\sqrt{288}$

= 16.97

The product of a number and four is at most -10

Ronch [10]

The product (multiply) of a number (x) and four (4) is at most (≤) -10.

4x ≤ -10

To solve this, divide both sides by 4

x ≤ -2 $\frac{1}{2}$

Find the length of the curve y = integral from 1 to x of sqrt(t^3-1)

Arlecino [84]

$y=\displaystyle\int_1^x\sqrt{t^3-1}\,\mathrm dt$

By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\displaystyle\int_1^x\sqrt{t^3-1}\,\mathrm dt=\sqrt{x^3-1}$

Now the arc length over an arbitrary interval $(a,b)$ is

$\displaystyle\int_a^b\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dx=\int_a^b\sqrt{1+x^3-1}\,\mathrm dx=\int_a^bx^{3/2}\,\mathrm dx$

But before we compute the integral, first we need to make sure the integrand exists over it. $x^{3/2}$ is undefined if $x$ , so we assume $a\ge0$ and for convenience that $a$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_a^bx^{3/2}\,\mathrm dx=\frac25x^{5/2}\bigg|_{x=a}^{x=b}=\frac25\left(b^{5/2}-a^{5/2}\right)$
