Step 1: Recall the formula for the arc length of a parametric curve. The length of a curve defined by parametric equations x(t) and y(t) is given by: . Here, we need to compute dx/dt and dy/dt first.
Step 2: Differentiate x = 6t - 2t3 with respect to t to find dx/dt. This gives: . Similarly, differentiate y = 6t2 with respect to t to find dy/dt. This gives: .
Step 3: Substitute dx/dt and dy/dt into the arc length formula. The integrand becomes: . Simplify the expression inside the square root.
Step 4: Determine the limits of integration. The problem specifies the loop of the curve, which corresponds to the values of t where the curve intersects itself. Solve x = 6t - 2t3 = 0 to find the limits of integration. This gives t = 0 and t = √3.
Step 5: Set up the integral for the arc length using the simplified integrand and the limits of integration. Compute . Evaluate the integral to find the length of the loop.
