Homework Statement
Find the arc length of the equation [tex]y^2=4(x+4)^3[/tex] from [tex]x=0[/tex] to [tex]x=2[/tex]
Homework Equations
[tex]L=\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+f'(x)}dx[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]L=\int_{0}^{2}\sqrt{1+9(x+4)}dx[/tex]
which simplifies in to
[tex]L=\int_{0}^{2}\sqrt{9x+37}dx[/tex]
and I'm stuck there--how should i try to integrate that?
