find the exact length of the curve. x = et − t, y = 4et/2, 0 ≤ t ≤ 2

Sagot :

Length of the curve is e² - 1 .

What is function?

In arithmetic, a function from a group X to a group Y assigns to every part of X precisely one part of Y. The set X is termed the domain of the function and therefore the set Y is termed the codomain of the function

Main body:

A parametric curve is a function expressed in components form, such that

x=f(t) , y=g(t). The length of a parametric curve on the interval a ≤ t ≤ b is given by the definite integral :

L =  [tex]\int\limits^a_b {\sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt} )^2 + (\frac{dy}{dt} )^2} } \, dt[/tex]

Let's begin by getting the first derivative of the components of the function with respect to the variable t.

x = e^t - t  

dx / dt = e^t−1

y = 4 e^t/2

dy /dt = 2 e^t/2

Substitute the derivatives into the following definite integral which computes the length of the parametric curve on the interval

[a,b]=[0,2].

L =[tex]\int\limits^a_b {\sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt} )^2 + (\frac{dy}{dt} )^2} } \, dt[/tex]

L=  [tex]\int\limits^2_0 {\sqrt{(e^{t}-1 )^2 + (2e^{t/2} } )^2} } \, dt[/tex]

L =[tex]\int\limits^2_0 {e^{t} -1} \, dt[/tex]

Evaluate the solution at the limits of integration to get the length.

L = (e² - 1 )- (e⁰ - 1)

L = e² - 1 - 1 + 1

L= e² - 1

Hence , length of the curve is e² - 1 .
