Homework Statement
a particle's position is represented parametrically by x=t^2-3 and y=(2/3)t^3
Find the total distance traveled by the particle from t= 0 to 5
Homework Equations
Can't think of any
The Attempt at a Solution
I cannot think of a way to do it keeping it in terms of t. All I could do was convert the original equations to Cartesian and evaluate the difference from t=0 to 5 which in terms of x is -3 to 22.
