Question: 1 ( 5 p t s ) . Write down the integral for arclength o f the parabola ( x , y ) = (

1(5pts). Write down the integral for arclength of the parabola
(x,y)=(1-t2,t),tin(-1,1)
2(15pts). Let (t)=(e-tcost,e-tsint),tinR.
(5pts). Explain why (t)is a parametrized smooth curve.
Hint: It suffices to justify that each componententryis a smooth function. In calculus,
we learned that product of smooth functions is also smooth.
(5pts). Show that ast,(t) approaches the origin 0 and spins around it.
Hint: Draw a picture of the curve and say something about the infinite spinningrotation
of the curve with shrinking radius.
(5pts). Find the length of the curve i.e. the value of the improper integral limtt0t|'(t)|dt.
Isit finite or?
Hint: The arc-length should depend ont0.
