Find the length of the spiraling polar curve r8e5theta From
Find the length of the spiraling polar curve r=8e^(5theta) From 0 to 2pi
The length is?
The length is?
Solution
For easiness I will write t instead of
The length element of a polar curve
r=f(t) is
sqrt(f2(t)+f\'2(t))
So we have
0..2 sqrt(8^2*e10t+8^2*25*e10t) dt
=0..28 e5t 26 dt
=826e5t/5|0..2=
=826/5(e10-1)
