Q. Write an integral expression that will give the length of the path given by f(x)=10x41 f(x)=10x^{4}-1 from x=7 x=7 to x=8 x=8 .
  1. Find Derivative of f(x): To find the length of the path of a function f(x)f(x) from x=ax = a to x=bx = b, we use the arc length formula, which is given by the integral:\newlineL=ab1+[f(x)]2dxL = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + [f'(x)]^2} \, dx\newlineFirst, we need to find the derivative of f(x)=10x41f(x) = 10x^4 - 1.
  2. Substitute into Arc Length Formula: The derivative of f(x)=10x41f(x) = 10x^4 - 1 with respect to xx is f(x)=ddx(10x41)=40x3f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} (10x^4 - 1) = 40x^3.
  3. Simplify Integral Expression: Now we substitute f(x)f'(x) into the arc length formula and simplify: L=781+(40x3)2dxL = \int_{7}^{8} \sqrt{1 + (40x^3)^2} \, dx
  4. Simplify Integral Expression: Now we substitute f(x)f'(x) into the arc length formula and simplify:\newlineL=781+(40x3)2dxL = \int_{7}^{8} \sqrt{1 + (40x^3)^2} \, dx Simplify the expression inside the square root:\newlineL=781+1600x6dxL = \int_{7}^{8} \sqrt{1 + 1600x^6} \, dx\newlineThis is the integral expression that will give the length of the path of f(x)f(x) from x=7x = 7 to x=8x = 8.
