    Computing Arc Length and Cannot Solve the Integral

    Homework Statement Find the length of the polar curve. Complete the cardioid r=1+cosθHomework Equations L=∫αβ√[f(θ)2+f'(θ)2] dθ The Attempt at a Solution Given f(θ)2 is equal to cos2θ+2cosθ+1 and f'(θ)2=sin2θ I arrive at the integral ∫αβ√[2cosθ+2] dθ which I cannot for the life of me...
