Find the definite integral that represents the arc length of the curve y=sqrt(x) over the interval [0, 3]

1 answer

S=definite integral(a÷b)sqroot[1+(dy/dx)^2]

dy/dx=1/2sqroot(x)

(dy/dx)^2=1/4x

S=definite integral(0÷3)sqroot(1+1/4x)

If you don't know how to solve that integral in google type:
wolfram alpha

When you see list of results click on:
Wolfram Alpha:Computation Knowweledge Engine

When page be open in rectangle type:
sqroot(1+1/4x)
and click =

After few seconds you will see everything about that expresion.
