58–61. Arc length Find the length of the following curves.
y = 2x+4 on [−2,2] (Use calculus.)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recall the formula for the arc length of a curve defined by a function \(y = f(x)\) on the interval \([a, b]\): \[L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2} \, dx\]
Identify the function and the interval: here, \(y = 2x + 4\) and the interval is \([-2, 2]\).
Compute the derivative of \(y\) with respect to \(x\): \[\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(2x + 4)\]
Substitute the derivative into the arc length formula: \[L = \int_{-2}^{2} \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2} \, dx\]
Evaluate the integral to find the length of the curve over the given interval.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Arc Length Formula

The arc length of a curve y = f(x) from x = a to x = b is found using the integral formula L = ∫_a^b √(1 + (dy/dx)^2) dx. This formula calculates the length by summing infinitesimal line segments along the curve.

Derivative of a Function

The derivative dy/dx represents the slope of the curve at any point x. For the arc length formula, the derivative is squared and added to 1 inside the square root to account for both horizontal and vertical changes along the curve.

Definite Integration

Definite integration evaluates the integral over a specific interval [a, b], providing a numerical value for the arc length. It sums the continuous contributions of small segments between the given bounds.

Variable gravity At Earth’s surface, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately g=9.8 m/s² (with local variations). However, the acceleration decreases with distance from the surface according to Newton’s law of gravitation. At a distance of y meters from Earth’s surface, the acceleration is given by a(y) = - g / (1+y/R)², where R=6.4×10⁶ m is the radius of Earth.
