To set up the definite integral for the arc length of the curve y=x3/2 over the interval [0,32/9], you first apply the power rule to find the derivative of the function, which is f′(x)=23x1/2. Next, you square this derivative to get (f′(x))2=49x.
Conditions: The curve is defined by the function f(x)=x3/2.; The interval of integration is [0,32/9].; The arc length formula ∫ab1+(f′(x))2dx is applicable.
