![### Calculating the Exact Length of a Curve
**Problem Statement:**
Find the exact length of the following curve:
\[ y = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}} \]
from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 1 \).
**Instructions:**
1. **Answer**: Provide the exact calculated length of the curve in the answer box.
2. **Units**: Select the appropriate units for your answer from the drop-down menu.
**Illustration:**
No additional graphs or diagrams are provided with the problem statement.
When solving this type of problem, you typically use the formula for finding the length of a curve:
\[ L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2} \, dx \]
In this case, \( y \) is given as a function of \( x \). You’ll need to:
1. Differentiate \( y \) with respect to \( x \) to find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).
2. Square the derivative.
3. Add 1 to the squared derivative.
4. Take the square root of the expression obtained in step 3.
5. Integrate the resulting function with respect to \( x \) over the interval from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 1 \).
**Interactive Component:**
After completing your calculations, input the exact answer and select the correct units from the drop-down list provided.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2386874c-e724-4957-85a1-36ae7eec2eac%2F55a47002-92b1-4973-8766-c1b6bd0c253b%2Fytdcmq9_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
