Find the length L of the curve
from the point P(0,0) to the point Q(4,2)

4.647 to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the length of an arc between  x = a and x = b is

  a

    ∫  √( 1 + (f'(x))^2) dx

  b

Here f(x) = √x so

we have  ∫  (√( 1 + (1/2 x^-1/2))^2 )   between x = 0 and x = 4.

=   ∫ ( √( 1 + 1/(4x)) dx   between  x = 0 and x = 4.

This is not easy to integrate  but some software I have gives me the following

length =  √17 + 1/8 log(33 + 1/8 √17)

= 4.647.

(a) the volume of the cone is 20/3 in3

hence, option a is correct.

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
