Question: For a smooth curve C represented by the parametric equations x = x ( t ) , y = y ( t ) , a

For a smooth curve C represented by the parametric equations x=x(t),y=y(t),atb, the arc length s satisfies the equation
dsdt=(dxdt)2+(dydt)22
In terms of differentials, this can be written as
ds=(dx)2+(dy)22
The differential ds can be used to approximate the arc length s between two nearby points.
Use the differential ds to approximate the arc length of the curve
x(t)=e4t,y(t)=e2t
from t=0 to t=0.2.
(Use decimal notation. Give your answer to two decimal places.)
