Which of the following definite integrals gives the length of y = e^(e^x) between x=0 and x=1?
All the answers are preceded by the integral sign from 0 to 1.
(a) sqrt[1 + e^(2*(x+e^x))] dx
(b) sqrt[1 + e^(4x)] dx
(c) sqrt[1 + e^(x+e^x)] dx
(d) sqrt[1 + e^(2e^x)] dx
(e) sqrt[e^(e^x) + e^(x+e^x)] dx
I'm sorry... I'm just not super comfortable posting my name on the web... Can you still please help me??
To find the length of the curve given by a function, we use the arc length formula:
Length of curve = integral from a to b of sqrt(1 + (f'(x))^2) dx
In this case, the equation of the curve is y = e^(e^x).
First, we need to find the derivative of y = e^(e^x). Using the chain rule, we have:
dy/dx = d/dx (e^(e^x))
= e^(e^x) * d/dx (e^x)
= e^(e^x) * e^x
= e^(e^x + x)
Now we substitute this into the arc length formula. The integral will be with respect to x, ranging from 0 to 1:
Length = integral from 0 to 1 of sqrt(1 + (e^(e^x + x))^2) dx
Comparing this with the provided options, we can see that the correct answer is (c) sqrt[1 + e^(x+e^x)] dx.
To find the length of the curve represented by the function y = e^(e^x) between x = 0 and x = 1, we can use the arc length formula for a curve in the Cartesian coordinate system.
The arc length of a curve defined by the function y = f(x) between x = a and x = b is given by the integral:
L = ∫[a to b] sqrt(1 + (f'(x))^2) dx
where f'(x) represents the derivative of the function f(x) with respect to x.
In this case, the function is y = e^(e^x), so we need to find its derivative before we can determine the correct definite integral.
Let's start by finding the derivative of y = e^(e^x):
dy/dx = d/dx (e^(e^x))
To find the derivative of e^(e^x), we can use the chain rule.
Let u = e^x. Then, e^(e^x) = e^u.
Now, taking the derivative of e^u with respect to u, we get:
d/du (e^u) = e^u
Since u = e^x, we substitute it back in:
dy/dx = d/du (e^u) = e^u = e^(e^x)
Now that we have the derivative of y = e^(e^x), we can substitute it into the arc length formula:
L = ∫[0 to 1] sqrt(1 + (e^(e^x))^2) dx
Simplifying further:
L = ∫[0 to 1] sqrt(1 + e^(2e^x)) dx
Comparing this integral with the options provided, we can see that the correct option is:
(d) sqrt[1 + e^(2e^x)] dx
