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}}

Consider the equation x +1 = 2.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

x^2 + 2x +1  = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+1) = 2

multiplying both sides by x +1

(x +1) (x+1) = 2 (x+1)

x^2 + 2x +1  = 2x + 2
