Arc length of a curve C described by the parametric equations x=f(t) and y=g(t), where f' and g' are continuous on [a,b] and C is traversed exactly once as t increases from a to b, then the length of the curve is given by,



We are given:








Now let's evaluate arc length by using the stated formula,

We are given:








Now let's evaluate arc length by using the stated formula,








Using partial fractions integrand can be written as :



Take the constant out and use the standard integral:









Arc length of the curve on the given interval is
