<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The distance that Adam should cover to get to the park is 108 miles.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to write two equations with the given information about the times and his speed.

So,

For the first equation we have: Going to Disney Park

$time=4hours$

$Distance=v*4hours$

For the second equation we have: Going back from Disnery Park

$time=4hours-2.5hours=1.5hours$

$Speed=v+45mph$

$Distance=(v+45mph)*1.5hours$

Now, if He covered the same distance going and coming back, we have:

$v*4hours=(v+45mph)*1.5hours$

$v*4hours=v*1.5hours+45mph*1.5hours$

$v*4hours-v*1.5hours=45mph*1.5hours$

$v*2.5hours=67.5miles$

$v=\frac{67.5miles}{2.5hours}=27\frac{miles}{hour}=27mph$

We have that the speed when Adam was going to Disney Park was 27 mph.

Therefore, to calculate the distance, we need to substitute the obtained speed in any of the two first equations.

Then, substituting the speed into the first equation, we have:

$Distance=v*4hours\\Distance=27mph*4hours=108miles$

Hence, we have that the distance that Adam should cover to get to the park is 108 miles.

Havea nice day!

1.) Find the length of the arc of the graph x^4 = y^6 from x = 1 to x = 8.

xxTIMURxx [149]

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

$x^4 = y^6 \implies \left(x^4\right)^{1/6} = \left(y^6\right)^{1/6} \implies x^{4/6} = y^{6/6} \implies y = x^{2/3}$

(If you were to plot the actual curve, you would have both $y=x^{2/3}$ and $y=-x^{2/3}$ , 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,

$\displaystyle \int_1^8 \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dx$

We have

$y = x^{2/3} \implies \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac23x^{-1/3} \implies \left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2 = \dfrac49x^{-2/3}$

Then in the integral,

$\displaystyle \int_1^8 \sqrt{1 + \frac49x^{-2/3}}\,\mathrm dx = \int_1^8 \sqrt{\frac49x^{-2/3}}\sqrt{\frac94x^{2/3}+1}\,\mathrm dx = \int_1^8 \frac23x^{-1/3} \sqrt{\frac94x^{2/3}+1}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute

$u = \dfrac94x^{2/3}+1 \text{ and } \mathrm du = \dfrac{18}{12}x^{-1/3}\,\mathrm dx = \dfrac32x^{-1/3}\,\mathrm dx$

This transforms the integral to

$\displaystyle \frac49 \int_{13/4}^{10} \sqrt{u}\,\mathrm du$

and computing it is trivial:

$\displaystyle \frac49 \int_{13/4}^{10} u^{1/2} \,\mathrm du = \frac49\cdot\frac23 u^{3/2}\bigg|_{13/4}^{10} = \frac8{27} \left(10^{3/2} - \left(\frac{13}4\right)^{3/2}\right)$

We can simplify this further to

$\displaystyle \frac8{27} \left(10\sqrt{10} - \frac{13\sqrt{13}}8\right) = \boxed{\frac{80\sqrt{10}-13\sqrt{13}}{27}}$
