Find an expression for the arc length of the upper half of a circle of radius 25 on the interval [0,t] where (0
@satellite73 yo can u try this
finally !!!
i wrote 25 pi/2 but it was wrong then i wrote t*pi/2 that was wrong too
we have to use arclength formula just incase
i forget is it someting like \[\int_a^b\sqrt{1+(f'(x))^2}\]
ya
ya thats correct
25 is a huge radius
in this case the circle with radius 25 has the equation \[f(x)=\sqrt{25^2-t^2}\]
yep
it is rather large, but not as large as i am old
hey i dont judge a question by its size @myininaya
=P
take the derivative, get \[\frac{t}{\sqrt{25^2-t^2}}\]
and you could actually compare this answer by doing it the easy algebraic way
you know to check the answer
that is what i started to do actually but it required too much thinking
^
square it, add one, and take the square root of the result halas
C=2pi*r C=2pi*25=50pi 0 to 25 means we are looking at a quarter of the whole circle C/4=50pi/4 50pi/4=25pi/2 hmmm...I got 25pi/2 like you did
is it 0<t<25 or -25<t<25?
0 to 25
oh it says find the expression and doesn't say to evaluate
yeah
lol and its confusing because interval is from 0 to t and 0<t<25...so...
I think we she do the integral for 0 to t
I think that inequality is just saying where t has to be less than 25
basically we have to find such a t that it the arc length was from 0 to t (t<25) that we can get the answer
\[\int\limits_{0}^{t} \sqrt{1+(\frac{-t}{25^2-t^2})^2 } dx\] and satellite already found the derivative of f
oops those t's are x's
except the limit t
the question just asks for the expression
\[\int\limits\limits_{0}^{t} \sqrt{1+(\frac{-x}{25^2-x^2})^2 } dx \]
still a typo there dear
whatever I missed the square root
\[\int\limits\limits_{0}^{t} \sqrt{1+(\frac{-x}{\sqrt{25^2-x^2}})^2 } dx\]
\[\int\limits\limits\limits_{0}^{t} \sqrt{1+(\frac{-x}{\sqrt{25^2-x^2}})^2 } dx \]
too many latex symbols to type
or \[\sqrt{1+\frac{x^2}{25^2-x^2}}\]
alright you guys i got it right
i had it right before just that i was evaluating from 0 to 25 when i was just spposed to sub in for t...sigh didnt read...
