These are tips for the assignments in the Distance/Online Math 1700 course, but I strongly recommend that you do this assignment as homework even if you are taking the classroom lecture section of the course.  These assignments are very good (and challenging) practice.  It is possible that you are doing the topics in a different order in the classroom lecture sections, so you may need to wait until later before tackling this assignment.

Here is a link to the actual assignment, in case you don't have it:

Study Lesson 13 (Arc Length and Surface Area) and Lesson 14 (Parametric Equations) from my Calculus 2 book to prepare for this assignment.

I note that Lesson 15 (Polar Curves), is not included in this assignment.  You may want to check with the prof to see if this lesson has been omitted this term.  I suspect not.  In the past, they have skipped this lesson on the assignment, but have expected you to know if for the exam.  Indeed, there has been exam questions on this topic in the past even though it wasn't on the assignments.

I don't anticipate any real difficulties here if you have studied Lesson 13, question 1.  Especially, part (c).

Like my Lesson 13, question 2.

Like my Lesson 13, questions 2 and 3.

Like my Lesson 14, questions 1, 2, 3, and 5.

Use the formula for arc length of a parametric curve as shown at the top of my questions for Lesson 14, and as applied in question 5(d), part (i).

Like my Lesson 14, question 5.
