The discussion revolves around finding the length of a parameterized curve defined by the equations x = sqrt(5)sin(2t) - 2 and y = sqrt(5)cos(2t) - sqrt(3). Participants are exploring the steps necessary to approach this problem.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing hints about the arc length formula and the importance of defining the limits for t. There is no explicit consensus yet, but guidance has been offered regarding the integral setup.
There is a noted requirement to specify distinct values of t for the computation, which may influence the approach to solving the problem.
[tex]:(1): \ \ \ \ (CurveLength_{t=a}^{t=b}) = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt { (\frac {dy} {dt})^2 + (\frac {dx} {dt})^2} \ \ dt[/tex]mugzieee said:i got a problem that says:
x=sqrt(5)sin2t -2
y=sqrt(5)cos2t - sqrt(3)
how would i go about starting it?
