Question
6a) Let A be the parabolic arc defined by the equation y = 8x – x over the domain
interval [0, 8]. Sketch A on a set of coordinate axes below; identify the coordinates of
both intercepts and the vertex. Estimate the length of A using the lengths of the two
line segments joining either intercept to the vertex.
Write the definite integral that represents the exact length of A.
Do not evaluate this integral - just set it up and simplify it.
Then, use technology to obtain an estimate of this integral's value.
