Example Question #91 : Parametric
Find the arc length of the curve (Round to three significant digits):
Finding the length of the curve requires simply applying the formula:
Where:
Since we are also given and , we can easily compute the derivatives of each:
Applying these into the above formula results in:
Looking at this integral, it seems pretty intimidating at first, but we can do some algebraic manipulation to make it look like a simple u-substitution problem. First we notice that there is a term that is common within the two separate functions. If we factor it out then the integral becomes:
Now we can apply the rules of u-substitution:
Therefore:
Now we must deal with the new bounds of our integral:
Our new integral becomes:
Plugging this result into a calculator results in:
Because the problem statement requires us to round this to three significant figures, the final result is:
This is one of the answer choices.

Find the arc length of the curve:
Finding the length of the curve requires simply applying the formula:
Where:
Since we are also given and , we can easily compute the derivatives of each:
Applying these into the above formula results in:
We can factor out the common , and pull it outside of the square-root, and we will notice one of the most common trigonometric identities:

This is one of the answer choices.
Example Question #93 : Parametric Form
Find the arc length of the curve:
Finding the length of the curve requires simply applying the formula:
Where:
Since we are also given and , we can easily compute the derivatives of each, using the Product Rule:
Applying these into the above formula results in:
Simplifying the above will require these two formulas:
It may also be useful to know this formula:
We can factor out the common to make the above expression easier to look at:
We can take the outside of the square-root by cancelling out the representing the "square". Then we can apply formulas & to the trigonometric expressions:
We can now simplify the terms inside the square-root to get:
If we factor out the common "2" above, we are left with the trigonometric identity, which simplifies to , since:
Therefore the integral now becomes:
This is a simple integral which can be solved using u-substitution. But first, we can factor out the constant term , outside of the integral:
We will make our substitutions:
We also need to change the bounds of the new integral:
Our new integral becomes:
This is one of the answer choices.
Example Question #1 : Graphing Parametrics
Suppose we have a curve parameterized by the equations:
What is the tangent line to the curve at ?
At , the graph passes through
Now to find the slope, we will need both derivatives with respect to t, which are:
So to obtain the slope, we just use:
,
and evaluate at .
As it turns out, at , and , so the slope will be 0 for this curve at the point .
That means that , and so solving at ordered pair , the solution must be:
