First, rewrite the equation so that <em>y</em> is a function of <em>x</em> :

(If you were to plot the actual curve, you would have both
and
, but one curve is a reflection of the other, so the arc length for 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 8 would be the same on both curves. It doesn't matter which "half-curve" you choose to work with.)
The arc length is then given by the definite integral,

We have

Then in the integral,

Substitute

This transforms the integral to

and computing it is trivial:

We can simplify this further to

5a: To find the slope, you would divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points. So coordinates (15,1.5) and (5,0.5). You would subtract 1.5 form 0.5 which gives you neagtive one. (-1) Then subtract 15 from 5 which is -10. (negative ten) -1 divided by -10 is one tenths. 1/10 is your answer to part a.
5b. To find the slope, you would divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points. (Not sure what you meant by "interpret".
5c. The phone bill will increase by $0.50 if you talk for 5 extra minutes.
5d. You talked for 30 minutes if the phone bill costs $3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6a. I can't really graph it but I'll interpret the slope. Y would basically be 7.5 times as much as x.
6b. I'm kinda stuck on how to get from 7.5 to 1. Sorry. OnO

7a. Hamburgers sell faster because there are 60 minutes in a hour. If 2.5 wraps are sold in one minute. Then there would be 150 wraps sold in 60 minutes which is also one hour. Hamburgers sell ten more than wraps per hour.
7b. The equation for wraps is: y=2.5x
The equation for hamburgers is y=2.6667x
Goodnight and hope it helps.~ RIP my sleep...
Answer:
After your payment
A = 71,000 - 785.26 = 70,214.74
You also have an interest payment of
71000 * .12 / 12 = 710
The total owed is
70,214.74 + 710 = 70,924.74
