he s Clearasil immune right here. So we have. Why is equal to X minus? Felt then of X exists between one and four included. When we find the derivative, we get one minus one over ETS. We're gonna use the arc length formula when we get from 1 to 4 square root, but one plus one minus one over at square D X. And when we used a calculator, we get around three point 4467
