Transcribed Image Text:Find an arc length parametrization of the line y = 4x + 6.
Consider the following approach to find the parametrization r(s).
Step 1: Let r(t) = (t, 4t + 6)
Then,
Step 2: r' (t) = (1,4) and ||r' (t)|| = √√/17
Now,
Step 3: s(t) = [[ *|\r'
= ['|' (u)
(u)
Finally,
du
du = [' VTT du = 1 √TI
=
Step 4: r₁(s) = = (t√/17,4√/17t+6)
At which step did an error occur? Explain.
Step 3, s(t) is found by integrating the argument
r' (u)
||r' (u)||
Step 4, the parametrization is r (g¯¹(s)) where t = g¯¹(s).
Step 2, the magnitude of r(t) should be 17.
Step 1, the parametrization of the line y = 4x + 6 is wrong.

Transcribed Image Text:Incorrect
Compute the actual arc length parametrization of the line.
(Enter your answer in the form of a vector (*, *). Enter numbers in exact form. Use symbolic notation and fractions where
needed.)
r₁(s) = (t,4t+6)
Incorrect
