Chapter 6: Q. 44 (page 499)

Find the exact value of the arc length of each function f(x) on [a, b] by writing the arc length as a definite integral and then solving that integral.
$f (x) = \ln (\cos x)$ , $[a, b] = [0, \frac{蟺}{4}]$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The arc length is $\begin{array}{rcl} \ln (1 + \sqrt{2}) \end{array}$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

Consider the function is $f (x) = \ln (\cos x)$ , $[a, b] = [0, \frac{蟺}{4}]$ .

Step 2. Use arc length formula.

The formula for a function to find the arc length from $x = a$ to $x = b$ is given by ${鈭�}_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + {(f^{'} (x))}^{2}} d x$ .

Step 3. Find the arc length.

$\begin{array}{rcl} Arc length & = & {鈭�}_{0}^{蟺 / 4} \sqrt{1 + {(\frac{d}{d x} (\ln (\cos x)))}^{2}} d x \\ = & {鈭�}_{0}^{蟺 / 4} \sqrt{1 + {(\frac{1}{\cos x} (- \sin x))}^{2}} d x \\ = & {鈭�}_{0}^{蟺 / 4} \sqrt{1 + {(- \tan x)}^{2}} d x \\ = & {鈭�}_{0}^{蟺 / 4} \sqrt{1 + \tan^{2} x} d x \\ = & {鈭�}_{0}^{蟺 / 4} s e c x d x \\ = & {[\ln |\tan (x) + s e c (x)|]}_{0}^{蟺 / 4} \\ = & [\ln |\tan (\frac{蟺}{4}) + s e c (\frac{蟺}{4})|] - \ln |\tan (0) + s e c (0)| \\ = & \ln (1 + \sqrt{2}) \end{array}$
