Please some help here. I have 30 exercices this hard:
Arc lenght of:
(3cos(2t), 3sin(2t), 3t) [0.1]
Can you please help me?
The best I can do is get to a monstrous radical which i have to integrate trough wolframalpha.

Great explanation as always!
I'm glad you finally decided to switch to a whiteboard - It killed me to see you throw away 3 unused printer papers because of marker-bleed stains.

^^That is a true statement, a true statement indeed.

thanks for saving my ass.....again!

Taking an integral of that involved integration by parts.
I came up with 12 as the solution. Unless I made a mistake somewhere :-(.

For a non-parametrioc function on the form of y = f(x), the arc length is calculated by taking an integral from a to b over sqrt(1+(f' (x)^2)) (That's f'(x) = f prime sub x = drivative of f(x) in there).
In your case, where it's x = f(y), the arc length is calculated by taking an integral from a to b over sqrt(1+(f' (y)^2)).
I tried this problem and got f'(y) (f prime (y)) = (y-1) / (2*sqrt(y)).
sqrt(1+(f' (y)^2)) = (y+1) / (2*sqrt(y)).

thanks to your videos i got 105/100 in my cal 2 and 98/100 in cal 3 :D
