Let’s add the two speeds together so we can tell how far apart they are, so they move apart at 1,200 mph. At 3 PM, this is how far away they will be from each other. At 4 PM, they will be double that, which is 2,400. They still need to go 300 miles, which is a quarter of how fast they go in an hour, meaning they need to go for another quarter of an hour. That is 15 minutes, making the time 4:15 when they are 2,700 miles apart, which is answer b.

Trouble finding arclength calc 2

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$S\approx1.1953$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

$y=3-x^2$

And we want to find the arc-length from:

$0\leq x\leq \sqrt3/2$

By differentiating and substituting into the arc-length formula, we will acquire:

$\displaystyle S=\int\limits^\sqrt3/2}_0 {\sqrt{1+4x^2} \, dx$

To evaluate, we can use trigonometric substitution. First, notice that:

$\displaystyle S=\int\limits^\sqrt3/2}_0 {\sqrt{1+(2x)^2} \, dx$

Let's let y=2x. So:

$y=2x\\dy=2\,dx\\\frac{1}{2}\,dy=dx$

We also need to rewrite our bounds. So:

$y=2(\sqrt3/2)=\sqrt3\\y=2(0)=0$

So, substitute. Our integral is now:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{1}{2}\int\limits^\sqrt3}_0 {\sqrt{1+y^2} \, dy$

Let's multiply both sides by 2. So, our length S is:

$\displaystyle 2S=\int\limits^\sqrt3}_0 {\sqrt{1+y^2} \, dy$

Now, we can use trigonometric substitution.

Note that this is in the form a²+x². So, we will let:

$y=a\tan(\theta)$

Substitute 1 for a. So:

$y=\tan(\theta)$

Differentiate:

$y=\sec^2(\theta)\, d\theta$

Of course, we also need to change our bounds. So:

$\sqrt3=\tan(\theta), \theta=\pi/3\\0=\tan(\theta), \theta=0$

Substitute:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sqrt{1+\tan^2(\theta)}\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta$

The expression within the square root is equivalent to (Pythagorean Identity):

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sqrt{\sec^2(\theta)}\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta$

Now, we have to evaluate this integral. To do this, we can use integration by parts. So, let's let u=sec(θ) and dv=sec²(θ). Therefore:

$u=\sec(\theta)\\du=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)\, d\theta$

And:

$dv=\sec^2(\theta)\, d\theta\\v=\tan(\theta)$

Integration by parts:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-(\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\tan^2(\theta)\sec(\theta)} \, d\theta)$

Again, let's using the Pythagorean Identity, we can rewrite tan²(θ) as:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-(\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {(\sec^2(\theta)-1)\sec(\theta)} \, d\theta)$

Distribute:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-(\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {(\sec^3(\theta)-\sec(\theta)} \, d\theta)$

Now, let's make the single integral into two integrals. So:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-(\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec^3(\theta)\, d\theta-\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec(\theta)}\, d\theta)$

Distribute the negative:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec^3(\theta)\, d\theta+\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec(\theta)}\, d\theta$

Notice that the integral in the first equation and the second integral in the second equation is the same. In other words, we can add the second integral in the second equation to the integral in the first equation. So:

$\displaystyle 2S= 2\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)+\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec(\theta)}\, d\theta$

Divide the second and third equation by 2. So: $\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\frac{1}{2}(\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)+\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec(\theta)}\, d\theta)$
