    Solving Arclength of Curve r(t) | Step-by-Step Guide

    Homework Statement I have the problem and answer, I'm just confused on the last step, but I'll put down everything anyways. Find the arclength of the curve r(t) = <5√(2)t, e5t, e-5t> 0≤t≤1 Homework Equations L = ∫|r'(t)| The Attempt at a Solution r'(t) = √((5√(2))2+(5e5t)2+(-5e-5t)2)...

    Partial Derivative Calculations for 2xy + 4yz + 5xz with Chain Rule

    Yes I did mean that, but I actually figured out what I did wrong. I subbed in a y as t and not t^2.

    Find unit tangent vector at indicated point

    Thank you so much for your help. I would simplify, but I can't go farther than this on tests because I don't have enough time (this long annoying answer counts as full credit) and I'd like to do it like I'll do it on the test.

    Find unit tangent vector at indicated point

    Sorry, I didn't mean to put that there. I'm using a program online though and it's still wrong. Annoying thing I actually put in: 19e^(19*pi/2)(cos(pi/2)-sin(pi/2))/((19e^(19*pi/2)sin(pi/2))^2+(19e^(19*pi/2)cos(pi/2))^2+(19e^(19*pi/2))^2)^.5 The parenthesis are correct because it shows us a...
