x=et+et, y=52t, 0t3
We know that the length L of a curve
L=ab(dxdt)2+(dydt)2dt
dxdt=etet dydt=2
L=03(etet)2+(2)2dt
=03e2t2+e2t+4dt
=03(et+et)2dt
=03(et+et)dt
=[etet]03dt
=e3e3e0+e0
=e3e3

Recall that the arclength for parametric curves is:
L=ab(dxdt)2+(dydt)2dt
So,
dxdt=etet
dydt=2
Now substituting:
L=03(etet)2+(2)2dt
=03e2t2+e2t+4dt expand
=03e2t+2+e2tdt simplify
=03(et+et)2dt factor
=03(et+et)dt simplify
=etet03 integrate
=e3e3(e0e0) evaluate
=e3e3
