In Exercises approximate the arc length of the graph of the function over the interval [0, 4]

Question:

In Exercises approximate the arc length of the graph of the function over the interval [0, 4] in four ways. 

(a) Use the Distance Formula to find the distance between the endpoints of the arc. 

(b) Use the Distance Formula to find the lengths of the four line segments connecting the points on the arc when x = 0, x = 1, x = 2, x = 3, and x = 4. Find the sum of the four lengths. 

(c) Use Simpson's Rule with n = 10 to approximate the integral yielding the indicated arc length. 

(d) Use the integration capabilities of a graphing utility to approximate the integral yielding the indicated arc length.
