How do you find the length of the curve defined by the parametric equations r(t) = 5t, x(t) = 3 cos(t), y(t) = 3 sin(t), and z(t) = 3t?
To find the length of a curve defined by parametric equations, we can use the arc length formula. For a curve defined in three dimensions by the parameter t, the length L from t = a to t = b is given by the integral: L = &integral;ab √ (&frac{dX}{dt})2 + (&frac{dY}{dt})2 + (&frac{dZ}{dt})2 dt … Read more
