Answer:
34.43
Step-by-step explanation:
A differential of length in terms of t will be ...
dL(t) = √(x'(t)^2 +y'(t)^2)
where ...
x'(t) = 4cos(4t)
y'(t) = 7cos(7t)
The length of c(t) will be the integral of this differential on the interval [0, 2π].
Dividing that interval into 10 equal pieces means each one has a width of (2π)/10 = π/5. The midpoint of pieces numbered 1 to 10 will be ...
(π/5)(n -1/2), so the area of the piece will be ...
sub-interval area ≈ (π/5)·dL((π/5)(n -1/2))
It is convenient to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do the function evaluation and summing of areas.

The attachment shows the curve c(t) whose length we are estimating (red), and the differential length function (blue) we are integrating. We use the function p(n) to compute the midpoint of the sub-interval. The sum of sub-interval areas is shown as 34.43.
The length of the curve is estimated to be 34.43.

Answer:
Tyler should buy 2 goldfishes for his fish tank,
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's find the volume of the sphere, using the following equation:
The radius is half the diameter, so the radius is 14/2 = 7 inches
Now, finding the volume, we have:
Now, we know that we need to have 1 goldfish for every 693 in3 of water, so to find the number of goldfishes, we just need to divide the volume of the sphere by 693 (and round down the result if needed):
Tyler should buy 2 goldfishes for his fish tank,
solve for "w" to get the width
