Need help with this arc length curve calc problem 

### Calculating the Arc Length of a Curve

#### Problem Statement:

Calculate the arc length of the indicated portion of the curve \(\mathbf{r}(t)\).

\[
\mathbf{r}(t) = (4t \sin t + 4 \cos t) \mathbf{i} + (4t \cos t - 4 \sin t) \mathbf{j}, \quad -2 \leq t \leq 6
\]

#### Options:
- **A. 160**
- **B. 80**
- **C. 64**
- **D. 128**

This problem requires understanding of calculating arc length using parameterized curves. The given vector function \(\mathbf{r}(t)\) describes a path in the plane. The arc length \(L\) of the curve from \( t = a \) to \( t = b \) can be found using the integral:

\[
L = \int_{a}^{b} \|\mathbf{r}'(t)\| \, dt
\]

where \(\|\mathbf{r}'(t)\|\) is the magnitude of the derivative of \(\mathbf{r}(t)\).

Do note that proper steps and consideration of derivatives and integration are involved in solving this problem.

### Important Considerations:

- Calculate \(\mathbf{r}'(t)\) with respect to \(t\).
- Find the magnitude \(\|\mathbf{r}'(t)\|\).
- Integrate \(\|\mathbf{r}'(t)\|\) within the given limits to find \(L\).

Use the above strategies to solve the problem and match your final answer with one of the provided options.
