Capitolo 8, Problema 8.R.108

108. Arc length Find the length of the curve y = ln(x) on the interval [1, e^2].

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

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 interval: here, \( y = \ln(x) \) and the interval is \( [1, e^2] \).

Compute the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) of \( y = \ln(x) \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x} \]

Substitute \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) into the arc length formula to get: \[ L = \int_1^{e^2} \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^2} \, dx = \int_1^{e^2} \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}} \, dx \]

Simplify the integrand inside the square root: \[ \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}}{x} \] So the integral becomes: \[ L = \int_1^{e^2} \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}}{x} \, dx \] Next, set up this integral for evaluation using an appropriate substitution or method.

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 given by the integral L = ∫_a^b √(1 + (dy/dx)^2) dx. This formula calculates the distance along the curve by summing infinitesimal line segments, accounting for both horizontal and vertical changes.

Arc Length of Parametric Curves

Derivative of the Natural Logarithm Function

For y = ln(x), the derivative dy/dx is 1/x. Understanding this derivative is essential to substitute into the arc length formula, as it determines the slope of the curve at each point, influencing the length calculation.

Definite Integration over a Given Interval

Evaluating the arc length requires computing a definite integral from x = 1 to x = e^2. This involves integrating the function √(1 + (1/x)^2) over the interval, which may require techniques such as substitution or recognizing standard integral forms.

"Electric field due to a line of charge A total charge of Q is distributed uniformly on a line segment of length 2L along the y-axis (see figure). The x-component of the electric field at a point (a, 0) is given by

Eₓ(a) = (kQa/2L) ∫-L L dy/(a² + y²)^(3/2),

where k is a physical constant and a > 0.

a. Confirm that Eₓ(a)=kQ / a √(a²+L²)
