1. Use
the arc length formula (3) to find the length of the curve 17. y − lnssec xd, 0 < x < y4
y − 3 2 2x, 21 < x < 3. Check your answer by noting that
the curve is a line segment and calculating its length by the 18. x − e y 1 14 e2y, 0<y<1
distance formula. 1

2. Use
the arc length formula to find the length of the curve 25–26 Find the length of the arc of the curve from point P to
y − s4 2 x 2 , 0 < x < 2. Check your answer by noting that point Q.
the curve is part of a circle. 25. y − 12 x 2, P (21, 12 ), Q (1, 21 )
