Question
Set up an integral that represents the length of the part of the parametric curve shown in the graph. Then use a calculator (or computer) to find the length correct to four decimal places.
\(x=t-2 \ \sin \ t, \quad y=1-2 \ \cos \ t, \quad 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 4 \pi\)
Solution
The first step in solving 10.2 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Set up an integral that represents the length of the part of the parametric curve shown in the graph. Then use a calculator (or computer) to find the length correct to four decimal places.\(x=t-2 \ \sin \ t, \quad y=1-2 \ \cos \ t, \quad 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 4 \pi\)
From the textbook chapter Calculus with Parametric Curves you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
