Consider the two functions h(x) = x² and g(x) = Vx on the interval [0, 1].
(a) Plot the two functions on the interval.
(b) Based on the plots, do you think the arc-lengths of the two are equal?
(c) Recall the formula for arc-length V1+ f'(x)²dx.
Apply this to get the arclength of h and g as definite integrals. Call these numbers (definite integral
values) In, I, respectively.
(d) Find a substitution in I, that will convert it to In thus showing that the values of I,, In are equal.
(e) Recall/look up ſ sec (0)d0. Use this to compute Ig.

Step 2

It looks like that the two arcs are equal in length. 

Step 3

To find arc length of y=hx

Ih=011+h'x2dx     =011+ddxx22dx     =011+2x2dx     =011+4x2dx     =20114+x2dx     =2x214+x2+18lnx+14+x201     =14+12+14ln1+14+12-14ln14     =54+14ln1+54+14ln2
