Answer

$\dfrac{2}{27} (13\sqrt {13}-8)$

Work Step by Step

As we are given that $r(t)=\lt 2t^{3/2}, \cos 2t, \sin 2t \gt$; $0 \leq t \leq 1$ The length $L$ of the curve $r(t)=\lt 2t^{3/2}, \cos 2t, \sin 2t \gt$; $0 \leq t \leq 1$ is given as: $l=\int_p^q|r'(t)| dt$ Here, we have $r'(t)=\lt \dfrac{(2)(3)}{2}t^{3/2-1}, -2\sin 2t, 2\cos 2t \gt=\lt 3 \sqrt t, -2\sin 2t, 2\cos 2t \gt$ and $|r'(t)|=\sqrt{( 3 \sqrt t)^2+(-2\sin 2t)^2+(2\cos 2t)^2}=\sqrt{9t+4}$ Now, $L=\int_p^q|r'(t)| dt=\int_0^1\sqrt{9t+4} dt$ as $0 \leq t \leq 1$ Plug $k=9t+4 \implies dt=\dfrac{dk}{9}$ Thus, $L=(\dfrac{1}{9}) \int_{4}^{13} k^{1/2} dk$ This implies that $L=(\dfrac{1}{9})(\dfrac{2}{3} )[k^{3/2}]_{4}^{13}$ or, $=\dfrac{2}{27}[(13)^{3/2}-(4)^{3/2}]$ or, $=\dfrac{2}{27} (13\sqrt {13}-8)$
