金声玉亮2.0 To find the arc length of a function over a given interval using numerical methods like the Trapezoidal Rule, we need to apply the arc length formula for a function y = f(x) over an interval [a, b], which is:

L = ∫_a^b √(1 + (f'(x))^2) dx

Here, f(x) = (1/4)x^4, so f'(x) = x^3. Therefore, we have:

L = ∫_1^2 √(1 + (x^3)^2) dx
= ∫_1^2 √(1 + x^6) dx

Now, we will approximate this integral using the Trapezoidal Rule with n = 5 subintervals. First, we need to find the width of each subinterval, h:

h = (b - a) / n
= (2 - 1) / 5
= 1 / 5

Next, we need to evaluate the function at the endpoints and midpoints of each subinterval:

f(1) = √(1 + 1^6) = √2
f(1.2) = √(1 + 1.2^6) ≈ 1.5627
f(1.4) = √(1 + 1.4^6) ≈ 2.0219
f(1.6) = √(1 + 1.6^6) ≈ 2.6458
f(1.8) = √(1 + 1.8^6) ≈ 3.5029
f(2) = √(1 + 2^6) = √65

Finally, we can apply the Trapezoidal Rule formula:

T_n = (h/2) * [f(a) + 2(f(x_1) + f(x_2) + ... + f(x_{n-1})) + f(b)]

T_5 = (1/10) * [√2 + 2(1.5627 + 2.0219 + 2.6458 + 3.5029) + √65]
≈ (1/10) * [13.7478]
≈ 1.3748

Therefore, the arc length of y = (1/4)x^4 over the interval [1,2] using the Trapezoidal Rule T_5 is approximately 1.3748.

To find the arc length of \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \) over the interval \([1, 2]\) using the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \):

1. **Compute the derivative of \( y \)**:
\[
f'(x) = x^3
\]
The integrand for the arc length is:
\[
\sqrt{1 + (f'(x))^2} = \sqrt{1 + x^6}
\]

2. **Set up the Trapezoidal Rule**:
- Interval: \([1, 2]\)
- Number of subintervals: \( n = 5 \)
- Step size: \( \Delta x = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = 0.2 \)

3. **Evaluate the integrand at the required points**:
\[
\begin{aligned}
g(1.0) &= \sqrt{1 + 1^6} = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41421356 \\
g(1.2) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} \approx 1.996493 \\
g(1.4) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} \approx 2.92055 \\
g(1.6) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6} \approx 4.2163 \\
g(1.8) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6} \approx 5.91711 \\
g(2.0) &= \sqrt{1 + 2^6} = \sqrt{65} \approx 8.0622577 \\
\end{aligned}
\]

4. **Apply the Trapezoidal Rule formula**:
\[
T_5 = \frac{\Delta x}{2} \left[ g(x_0) + 2\sum_{i=1}^{4} g(x_i) + g(x_5) \right]
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\begin{aligned}
T_5 &= \frac{0.2}{2} \left[ 1.41421356 + 2(1.996493 + 2.92055 + 4.2163 + 5.91711) + 8.0622577 \right] \\
&= 0.1 \left[ 1.41421356 + 2(1.996493 + 2.92055 + 4.2163 + 5.91711) + 8.0622577 \right] \\
&= 0.1 \left[ 1.41421356 + 2(14.050453) + 8.0622577 \right] \\
&= 0.1 \left[ 1.41421356 + 28.100906 + 8.0622577 \right] \\
&= 0.1 \left[ 39.57737726 \right] \\
&\approx 3.957737726 \\
\end{aligned}
\]

5. **Round the result to four decimal places**:
\[
\boxed{3.9577}
\]

gpto1 To find the arc length of the curve \( y = \frac{1}{4} x^4 \) over the interval \([1, 2]\) using the Trapezoidal Rule with \( n = 5 \) subintervals, we'll follow these steps:

### **Step 1: Set Up the Arc Length Integral**

The formula for the arc length \( L \) of a function \( y = f(x) \) from \( x = a \) to \( x = b \) is:

\[
L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + [f'(x)]^2} \, dx
\]

First, compute the derivative of \( y \):

\[
f(x) = \frac{1}{4} x^4 \implies f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1}{4} x^4 \right) = x^3
\]

Then, the expression under the square root becomes:

\[
1 + [f'(x)]^2 = 1 + x^6
\]

So the arc length integral is:

\[
L = \int_{1}^{2} \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx
\]

### **Step 2: Apply the Trapezoidal Rule**

Divide the interval \([1, 2]\) into \( n = 5 \) equal subintervals. The width of each subinterval is:

\[
h = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = 0.2
\]

The \( x \)-values at each node are:

\[
\begin{align*}
x_0 &= 1.0 \\
x_1 &= 1.0 + h = 1.2 \\
x_2 &= 1.0 + 2h = 1.4 \\
x_3 &= 1.0 + 3h = 1.6 \\
x_4 &= 1.0 + 4h = 1.8 \\
x_5 &= 1.0 + 5h = 2.0 \\
\end{align*}
\]

Evaluate the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{1 + x^6} \) at these points:

\[
\begin{align*}
f(x_0) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.0)^6} = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.4142 \\
f(x_1) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 2.98598} \approx \sqrt{3.98598} \approx 1.9970 \\
f(x_2) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 7.52954} \approx \sqrt{8.52954} \approx 2.9211 \\
f(x_3) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 16.7772} \approx \sqrt{17.7772} \approx 4.2164 \\
f(x_4) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 34.0122} \approx \sqrt{35.0122} \approx 5.9161 \\
f(x_5) &= \sqrt{1 + (2.0)^6} = \sqrt{1 + 64} = \sqrt{65} \approx 8.0623 \\
\end{align*}
\]

Now, apply the Trapezoidal Rule:

\[
T_n = \frac{h}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} f(x_i) + f(x_n) \right]
\]

Plugging in the computed values:

\[
\begin{align*}
T_5 &= \frac{0.2}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2(f(x_1) + f(x_2) + f(x_3) + f(x_4)) + f(x_5) \right] \\
&= 0.1 \left[ 1.4142 + 2(1.9970 + 2.9211 + 4.2164 + 5.9161) + 8.0623 \right] \\
\end{align*}
\]

Calculate the sum inside:

\[
\begin{align*}
2(f(x_1) + f(x_2) + f(x_3) + f(x_4)) &= 2(1.9970 + 2.9211 + 4.2164 + 5.9161) \\
&= 2(15.0506) = 30.1012 \\
\end{align*}
\]

Now compute \( T_5 \):

\[
\begin{align*}
T_5 &= 0.1 \left[ 1.4142 + 30.1012 + 8.0623 \right] \\
&= 0.1 (39.5777) \\
&= 3.9578 \\
\end{align*}
\]

### **Answer**

**Therefore, the approximate arc length is \( \boxed{3.9578} \) units.**

GPT-4o To find the arc length of \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \) over the interval \([1, 2]\) using the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \), we need to follow these steps:

1. **Arc Length Formula:**
The arc length \( L \) of a function \( y = f(x) \) from \( x = a \) to \( x = b \) is given by:
\[
L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2} \, dx
\]

For \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \), first compute the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \):
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = x^3
\]

2. **Integrand for Arc Length:**
Substitute \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) into the arc length formula:
\[
L = \int_1^2 \sqrt{1 + (x^3)^2} \, dx
= \int_1^2 \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx
\]

3. **Trapezoidal Rule:**
The Trapezoidal Rule \( T_n \) for approximating the integral \( \int_a^b f(x) \, dx \) with \( n \) subintervals is given by:
\[
T_n = \frac{b - a}{2n} \left[ f(x_0) + 2f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + \cdots + 2f(x_{n-1}) + f(x_n) \right]
\]
where \( x_i = a + i \frac{b-a}{n} \).

4. **Apply \( T_5 \):**
For \( n = 5 \), \( a = 1 \), and \( b = 2 \):
\[
\Delta x = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = 0.2
\]
The \( x \)-values are:
\[
x_0 = 1, \quad x_1 = 1.2, \quad x_2 = 1.4, \quad x_3 = 1.6, \quad x_4 = 1.8, \quad x_5 = 2
\]

The function values \( f(x) = \sqrt{1 + x^6} \):
\[
f(x_0) = \sqrt{1 + 1^6} = \sqrt{2}
\]
\[
f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6}
\]
\[
f(x_2) = \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6}
\]
\[
f(x_3) = \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6}
\]
\[
f(x_4) = \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6}
\]
\[
f(x_5) = \sqrt{1 + 2^6} = \sqrt{65}
\]

5. **Calculate the Approximation:**
The trapezoidal approximation is:
\[
T_5 = \frac{0.2}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + 2f(x_3) + 2f(x_4) + f(x_5) \right]
\]
\[
T_5 = 0.1 \left[ \sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{1 + 1.2^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + 1.4^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + 1.6^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + 1.8^6} + \sqrt{65} \right]
\]

6. **Evaluate Each Term:**
Calculate each of the function values:
\[
f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 2.985984} = \sqrt{3.985984} \approx 1.997
\]
\[
f(x_2) = \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 7.529536} = \sqrt{8.529536} \approx 2.920
\]

To find the arc length of the curve y = (1/4)x^4 over the interval [1,2] using the Trapezoidal Rule T_5, we need to follow these steps:

1. Divide the interval [1,2] into 5 equal subintervals, each of width Δx = (2-1)/5 = 1/5.
2. Find the x-coordinates of the endpoints of each subinterval:

x_0 = 1, x_1 = 1 + 1/5 = 6/5, x_2 = 1 + 2/5 = 7/5, x_3 = 1 + 3/5 = 8/5, x_4 = 1 + 4/5 = 9/5, x_5 = 2

3. Find the corresponding y-coordinates of the endpoints of each subinterval:

y_0 = (1/4)(1)^4 = 1/4, y_1 = (1/4)(6/5)^4 = 1296/625, y_2 = (1/4)(7/5)^4 = 2401/625, y_3 = (1/4)(8/5)^4 = 4096/625, y_4 = (1/4)(9/5)^4 = 6561/625, y_5 = (1/4)(2)^4 = 16/4

4. Apply the Trapezoidal Rule T_5 to approximate the arc length:

L ≈ (1/2) \* Δx \* (y_0 + 2y_1 + 2y_2 + 2y_3 + 2y_4 + y_5)

Substituting the values, we get:

L ≈ (1/2) \* (1/5) \* (1/4 + 2(1296/625) + 2(2401/625) + 2(4096/625) + 2(6561/625) + 16/4)

Simplifying, we get:

L ≈ 3.14159

Therefore, the arc length of the curve y = (1/4)x^4 over the interval [1,2] using the Trapezoidal Rule T_5 is approximately 3.14159.

f(x) = (1/4)x^4
f'(x) = x^3

2. Define the interval and the number of subintervals:

a = 1, b = 2, n = 5

y_4 = f(x_4) = (1/4)(9/5)^4 = 6561/625
y_5 = f(x_5) = (1/4)(2)^4 = 16/4 = 4

6. Calculate the arc length using the Trapezoidal Rule T_5:

L ≈ (h/2) \* (y_0 + 2\*y_1 + 2\*y_2 + 2\*y_3 + 2\*y_4 + y_5)
= (1/10) \* (1/4 + 2\*1296/625 + 2\*2401/625 + 2\*4096/625 + 2\*6561/625 + 4)
= (1/10) \* (1/4 + 2592/625 + 4802/625 + 8192/625 + 13122/625 + 4)
= (1/10) \* (1/4 + 2592/625 + 4802/625 + 8192/625 + 13122/625 + 2500/625)
= (1/10) \* (1/4 + 2592/625 + 4802/625 + 8192/625 + 13122/625 + 2500/625)
= (1/10) \* (1/4 + 20216/625)
= (1/10) \* (1/4 + 32.2736)
= (1/10) \* 32.5236
= 3.25236

Therefore, the arc length of the curve y = (1/4)x^4 over the interval [1,2] using the Trapezoidal Rule T_5 is approximately 3.25236.

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 To find the arc length of the function \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \) over the interval \([1, 2]\) using the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \), we need to follow these steps:

1. **Find the derivative of the function**:
\[
y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = x^3
\]

2. **Express the arc length formula**:
The arc length \( L \) of a function \( y = f(x) \) over an interval \([a, b]\) is given by:
\[
L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2} \, dx
\]
Substituting \( \frac{dy}{dx} = x^3 \):
\[
L = \int_1^2 \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx
\]

3. **Apply the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \)**:
The Trapezoidal Rule approximates the integral by dividing the interval \([a, b]\) into \( n \) subintervals of equal width \( h \):
\[
h = \frac{b - a}{n}
\]
For \( T_5 \), \( n = 5 \):
\[
h = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = 0.2
\]

4. **Calculate the function values at the endpoints and midpoints**:
We need to evaluate \( \sqrt{1 + x^6} \) at \( x = 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2 \):
\[
\begin{aligned}
&f(1) = \sqrt{1 + 1^6} = \sqrt{2}, \\
&f(1.2) = \sqrt{1 + 1.2^6} = \sqrt{1 + 2.985984} \approx \sqrt{3.985984} \approx 1.9965, \\
&f(1.4) = \sqrt{1 + 1.4^6} = \sqrt{1 + 7.529536} \approx \sqrt{8.529536} \approx 2.9205, \\
&f(1.6) = \sqrt{1 + 1.6^6} = \sqrt{1 + 16.777216} \approx \sqrt{17.777216} \approx 4.2163, \\
&f(1.8) = \sqrt{1 + 1.8^6} = \sqrt{1 + 34.012224} \approx \sqrt{35.012224} \approx 5.9171, \\
&f(2) = \sqrt{1 + 2^6} = \sqrt{1 + 64} = \sqrt{65} \approx 8.0623.
\end{aligned}
\]

5. **Apply the Trapezoidal Rule formula**:
\[
T_5 = \frac{h}{2} \left( f(1) + 2f(1.2) + 2f(1.4) + 2f(1.6) + 2f(1.8) + f(2) \right)
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
T_5 = \frac{0.2}{2} \left( \sqrt{2} + 2 \times 1.9965 + 2 \times 2.9205 + 2 \times 4.2163 + 2 \times 5.9171 + 8.0623 \right)
\]
\[
T_5 = 0.1 \left( \sqrt{2} + 3.993 + 5.841 + 8.4326 + 11.8342 + 8.0623 \right)
\]
\[
T_5 \approx 0.1 \left( 1.4142 + 3.993 + 5.841 + 8.4326 + 11.8342 + 8.0623 \right)
\]
\[
T_5 \approx 0.1 \times 39.5773 \approx 3.9577
\]

Thus, the approximate arc length using the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \) is:
\[
\boxed{3.9577}
\]

Qwen2-72B-Instruct To find the arc length of a function over a given interval using numerical methods like the Trapezoidal Rule, we need to apply the arc length formula for a function y = f(x) over an interval [a, b], which is:

L = ∫_a^b √(1 + (f'(x))^2) dx

Here, f(x) = (1/4)x^4, so f'(x) = x^3. Therefore, we have:

L = ∫_1^2 √(1 + (x^3)^2) dx
= ∫_1^2 √(1 + x^6) dx

Now, we will approximate this integral using the Trapezoidal Rule with n = 5 subintervals. First, we need to find the width of each subinterval, h:

h = (b - a) / n
= (2 - 1) / 5
= 1 / 5

Next, we need to evaluate the function at the endpoints and midpoints of each subinterval:

f(1) = √(1 + 1^6) = √2
f(1.2) = √(1 + 1.2^6) ≈ 1.5627
f(1.4) = √(1 + 1.4^6) ≈ 2.0219
f(1.6) = √(1 + 1.6^6) ≈ 2.6458
f(1.8) = √(1 + 1.8^6) ≈ 3.5029
f(2) = √(1 + 2^6) = √65

Finally, we can apply the Trapezoidal Rule formula:

T_n = (h/2) * [f(a) + 2(f(x_1) + f(x_2) + ... + f(x_{n-1})) + f(b)]

T_5 = (1/10) * [√2 + 2(1.5627 + 2.0219 + 2.6458 + 3.5029) + √65]
≈ (1/10) * [13.7478]
≈ 1.3748

Therefore, the arc length of y = (1/4)x^4 over the interval [1,2] using the Trapezoidal Rule T_5 is approximately 1.3748.

baichuan4 To find the arc length of the function \(y = \frac{1}{4}x^4\) over the interval [1, 2] using the Trapezoidal Rule with 5 subintervals (\(T_5\)), we first need to determine the formula for the arc length.

The arc length \(S\) of a function \(y = f(x)\) over an interval \([a, b]\) is given by the integral:
\[ S = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + [f'(x)]^2} \, dx \]

For the function \(y = \frac{1}{4}x^4\), its derivative is:
\[ f'(x) = x^3 \]

Substituting \(f'(x)\) into the arc length formula:
\[ S = \int_1^2 \sqrt{1 + (x^3)^2} \, dx = \int_1^2 \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx \]

Now, we will approximate this integral using the Trapezoidal Rule with 5 subintervals. The interval [1, 2] will be divided into 5 equal parts, each of length \(\Delta x = \frac{2-1}{5} = 0.2\).

We need to calculate the function values at the endpoints of the interval and at 3 interior points:
- \(f(1) = \frac{1}{4}(1)^4 = 0.25\)
- \(f(1.2) = \frac{1}{4}(1.2)^4\)
- \(f(1.4) = \frac{1}{4}(1.4)^4\)
- \(f(1.6) = \frac{1}{4}(1.6)^4\)
- \(f(1.8) = \frac{1}{4}(1.8)^4\)
- \(f(2) = \frac{1}{4}(2)^4 = 4\)

Next, we calculate the arc length function values at these points:
- \(g(1) = \sqrt{1 + (1)^6} = \sqrt{2}\)
- \(g(1.2) = \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6}\)
- \(g(1.4) = \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6}\)
- \(g(1.6) = \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6}\)
- \(g(1.8) = \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6}\)
- \(g(2) = \sqrt{1 + (2)^6} = \sqrt{65}\)

The Trapezoidal Rule estimates the integral as:
\[ T_5 = \frac{\Delta x}{2} [g(1) + 2g(1.2) + 2g(1.4) + 2g(1.6) + 2g(1.8) + g(2)] \]

Calculate the specific values for \(g(1.2), g(1.4), g(1.6), g(1.8)\):
- \(g(1.2) = \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} ≈ 2.4944\)
- \(g(1.4) = \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} ≈ 3.1831\)
- \(g(1.6) = \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6} ≈ 4.1633\)
- \(g(1.8) = \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6} ≈ 5.4733\)

Substitute these values into the Trapezoidal Rule formula:
\[ T_5 ≈ \frac{0.2}{2} [\sqrt{2} + 2(2.4944 + 3.1831 + 4.1633 + 5.4733) + \sqrt{65}] \]
\[ T_5 ≈ 0.1 [\sqrt{2} + 2(15.3141) + \sqrt{65}] \]
\[ T_5 ≈ 0.1 [1.4142 + 30.6282 + 8.0623] \]
\[ T_5 ≈ 0.1 × 40.0947 \]
\[ T_5 ≈ 4.0095 \]

Therefore, the arc length of \(y = \frac{1}{4}x^4\) over the interval [1, 2] using the Trapezoidal Rule with 5 subintervals is approximately 4.0095 units.

doubao The arc length formula is given by $L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + (y')^2} dx$.

First find the derivative of $y = \frac{1}{4}x^4$: $y' = x^3$.

Then the integrand becomes $\sqrt{1 + (x^3)^2} = \sqrt{1 + x^6}$.

To use the Trapezoidal Rule $T_5$, we divide the interval $[1,2]$ into 5 subintervals. The width of each subinterval is $\Delta x = \frac{2-1}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$.

The endpoints of the subintervals are $x_0 = 1, x_1 = 1 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}, x_2 = 1 + 2\times\frac{1}{5} = \frac{7}{5}, x_3 = 1 + 3\times\frac{1}{5} = \frac{8}{5}, x_4 = 1 + 4\times\frac{1}{5} = \frac{9}{5}, x_5 = 2$.

Now evaluate the function at these points:

$f(x_0) = \sqrt{1 + 1^6} = \sqrt{2}$, $f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + (\frac{6}{5})^6}$, $f(x_2) = \sqrt{1 + (\frac{7}{5})^6}$, $f(x_3) = \sqrt{1 + (\frac{8}{5})^6}$, $f(x_4) = \sqrt{1 + (\frac{9}{5})^6}$, $f(x_5) = \sqrt{1 + 2^6} = \sqrt{65}$.

Using the Trapezoidal Rule formula:

$T_5 = \frac{\Delta x}{2}[(f(x_0) + f(x_5)) + 2(f(x_1) + f(x_2) + f(x_3) + f(x_4))]$

$=\frac{1}{10}[(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{65}) + 2(\sqrt{1 + (\frac{6}{5})^6} + \sqrt{1 + (\frac{7}{5})^6} + \sqrt{1 + (\frac{8}{5})^6} + \sqrt{1 + (\frac{9}{5})^6})]$.

Evaluating this expression numerically gives the approximation of the arc length.

minimax To find the arc length of the curve defined by \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \) over the interval \([1,2]\), we first need to find the formula for the arc length of a function \( y = f(x) \) over the interval \([a,b]\), which is given by:

\[ L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2} \, dx \]

For the given function \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \), we first need to find the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \):

\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{4}x^4\right) = x^3 \]

Now, we can plug this into the formula for the arc length:

\[ L = \int_{1}^{2} \sqrt{1 + (x^3)^2} \, dx = \int_{1}^{2} \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx \]

This integral does not have an elementary antiderivative, so we will approximate it using the Trapezoidal Rule with \( n = 5 \) subintervals. To apply the Trapezoidal Rule, we first need to divide the interval \([1,2]\) into \( n = 5 \) equal subintervals. The width of each subinterval \( \Delta x \) is:

\[ \Delta x = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = \frac{1}{5} \]

The endpoints of the subintervals are \( x_0 = 1 \), \( x_1 = 1 + \frac{1}{5} \), \( x_2 = 1 + 2\frac{1}{5} \), \( x_3 = 1 + 3\frac{1}{5} \), \( x_4 = 1 + 4\frac{1}{5} \), and \( x_5 = 2 \).

Now, we evaluate the function \( \sqrt{1 + x^6} \) at each of these endpoints:

\[ f(x_0) = \sqrt{1 + 1^6} = \sqrt{2} \]
\[ f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + \frac{1}{5}\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_2) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 2\frac{1}{5}\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_3) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 3\frac{1}{5}\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_4) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 4\frac{1}{5}\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_5) = \sqrt{1 + 2^6} = \sqrt{65} \]

The Trapezoidal Rule is given by:

\[ T_n = \frac{\Delta x}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + \ldots + 2f(x_{n-1}) + f(x_n) \right] \]

Plugging in the values we have:

\[ T_5 = \frac{1/5}{2} \left[ \sqrt{2} + 2\left(\sqrt{1 + \left(1 + \frac{1}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 2\frac{1}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 3\frac{1}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 4\frac{1}{5}\right)^6}\right) + \sqrt{65} \right] \]

Now, we can calculate the numerical values for \( f(x_1) \) through \( f(x_4) \) and then compute \( T_5 \):

\[ f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + \frac{1}{5}\right)^6} = \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_2) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 2\frac{1}{5}\right)^6} = \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{7}{5}\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_3) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 3\frac{1}{5}\right)^6} = \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{8}{5}\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_4) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 4\frac{1}{5}\right)^6} = \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{9}{5}\right)^6} \]

\[ T_5 = \frac{1/5}{2} \left[ \sqrt{2} + 2\left(\sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{7}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{8}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{9}{5}\right)^6}\right) + \sqrt{65} \right] \]

\[ T_5 = \frac{1}{10} \left[ \sqrt{2} + 2\left(\sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{7}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{8}{5}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{9}{5}\right)^6}\right) + \sqrt{65} \right] \]

You would then use a calculator to find the numerical values for each of these square roots and perform the addition and multiplication to get the approximate arc length \( T_5 \).

kimi To find the arc length of a curve given by \( y = f(x) \) over an interval \([a, b]\), we use the formula:

\[ L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2} \, dx \]

For the given function \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \), we first need to find the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \):

\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1}{4}x^4\right) = x^3 \]

Now, we square the derivative and add 1:

\[ \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = (x^3)^2 = x^6 \]
\[ 1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = 1 + x^6 \]

The arc length integral becomes:

\[ L = \int_1^2 \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx \]

To approximate this integral using the Trapezoidal Rule with \( n = 5 \), we divide the interval \([1, 2]\) into 4 equal subintervals (since \( n = 5 \) implies \( n-1 = 4 \) subintervals), and then use the endpoints and midpoints of these subintervals to estimate the integral.

The width of each subinterval \( h \) is:

\[ h = \frac{b - a}{n - 1} = \frac{2 - 1}{5 - 1} = \frac{1}{4} \]

The \( x \)-coordinates of the subintervals are:

\[ x_0 = 1, \quad x_1 = 1 + \frac{1}{4}, \quad x_2 = 1 + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4}, \quad x_3 = 1 + 3 \cdot \frac{1}{4}, \quad x_4 = 1 + 4 \cdot \frac{1}{4}, \quad x_5 = 2 \]

Now, we evaluate the function \( \sqrt{1 + x^6} \) at these points:

\[ f(x_0) = \sqrt{1 + 1^6}, \quad f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + \frac{1}{4}\right)^6}, \quad \ldots, \quad f(x_5) = \sqrt{1 + 2^6} \]

The Trapezoidal Rule approximation \( T_5 \) is given by:

\[ T_5 = \frac{h}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2 \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} f(x_i) + f(x_5) \right] \]

Substituting the values, we get:

\[ T_5 = \frac{1/4}{2} \left[ \sqrt{1 + 1^6} + 2 \left( \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + \frac{1}{4}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\right)^6} + \sqrt{1 + \left(1 + 3 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\right)^6} \right) + \sqrt{1 + 2^6} \right] \]

Now, we calculate the values of the function at each point and then sum them up to find the approximation of the arc length.

Let's calculate the values:

\[ f(x_0) = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2} \]
\[ f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1.25\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_2) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1.5\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_3) = \sqrt{1 + \left(1.75\right)^6} \]
\[ f(x_4) = \sqrt{1 + \left(2\right)^6} \]

\[ T_5 = \frac{1/4}{2} \left[ \sqrt{2} + 2 \left( \sqrt{1 + 1.25^6} + \sqrt{1 + 1.5^6} + \sqrt{1 + 1.75^6} \right) + \sqrt
3.958
wenxinyiyan To find the arc length of the curve \(y = \frac{1}{4}x^4\) over the interval [1,2] using the Trapezoidal Rule \(T_5\), we first need to set up the integral for arc length and then approximate it using the Trapezoidal Rule.

The arc length \(L\) of a curve \(y = f(x)\) over an interval \([a, b]\) is given by the integral

\[L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + \left(f'(x)\right)^2} \, dx\]

For the given function \(y = \frac{1}{4}x^4\), the derivative is \(y' = x^3\). So, the arc length integral becomes

\[L = \int_{1}^{2} \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx\]

Now, to approximate this integral using the Trapezoidal Rule \(T_5\), we divide the interval [1,2] into 5 equal subintervals. The width of each subinterval is

\[\Delta x = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = 0.2\]

The Trapezoidal Rule approximation is given by

\[T_5 = \frac{\Delta x}{2} \left(f(x_0) + 2f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + 2f(x_3) + 2f(x_4) + f(x_5)\right)\]

where \(x_i = 1 + i\Delta x\) for \(i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\).

In our case, \(f(x) = \sqrt{1 + x^6}\). So, we calculate the function values at the six points:

\[f(1) = \sqrt{1 + 1^6} = \sqrt{2}\]
\[f(1.2) = \sqrt{1 + 1.2^6}\]
\[f(1.4) = \sqrt{1 + 1.4^6}\]
\[f(1.6) = \sqrt{1 + 1.6^6}\]
\[f(1.8) = \sqrt{1 + 1.8^6}\]
\[f(2) = \sqrt{1 + 2^6} = \sqrt{65}\]

Plugging these values into the Trapezoidal Rule formula, we get

\[T_5 = \frac{0.2}{2} \left(\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{1 + 1.2^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + 1.4^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + 1.6^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + 1.8^6} + \sqrt{65}\right)\]

Evaluating this expression will give us the approximate arc length of the curve \(y = \frac{1}{4}x^4\) over the interval [1,2] using the Trapezoidal Rule \(T_5\). Note that this is an approximation and the actual arc length may differ slightly.

Please note that due to the complexity of the calculations, I have not provided the exact numerical result. You can use a calculator or a mathematical software package to evaluate the above expression and obtain the approximate arc length.

zhipu To find the arc length of a function \( y = f(x) \) over an interval \([a, b]\), we use the arc length formula:

\[ L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2} \, dx \]

For the function \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \), we first need to find the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \):

\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1}{4}x^4 \right) = x^3 \]

Now, we substitute \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) into the arc length formula:

\[ L = \int_{1}^{2} \sqrt{1 + (x^3)^2} \, dx = \int_{1}^{2} \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx \]

To approximate this integral using the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \), we divide the interval \([1, 2]\) into 5 equal subintervals. The width of each subinterval \( \Delta x \) is:

\[ \Delta x = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = \frac{1}{5} \]

The endpoints of the subintervals are:

\[ x_0 = 1, \quad x_1 = 1 + \frac{1}{5} = 1.2, \quad x_2 = 1 + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{5} = 1.4, \quad x_3 = 1 + 3 \cdot \frac{1}{5} = 1.6, \quad x_4 = 1 + 4 \cdot \frac{1}{5} = 1.8, \quad x_5 = 2 \]

Now, we evaluate the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{1 + x^6} \) at these points:

\[ f(x_0) = \sqrt{1 + 1^6} = \sqrt{2} \]
\[ f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} \]
\[ f(x_2) = \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} \]
\[ f(x_3) = \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6} \]
\[ f(x_4) = \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6} \]
\[ f(x_5) = \sqrt{1 + 2^6} = \sqrt{65} \]

The Trapezoidal Rule formula is:

\[ T_n = \frac{\Delta x}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + 2f(x_3) + 2f(x_4) + f(x_5) \right] \]

Substituting the values we have:

\[ T_5 = \frac{1}{10} \left[ \sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6} + 2\sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6} + \sqrt{65} \right] \]

Now, we calculate the values inside the brackets:

\[ \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 2.985984} \approx \sqrt{3.985984} \approx 1.99649 \]
\[ \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 4.756976} \approx \sqrt{5.756976} \approx 2.39892 \]
\[ \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 8.2944} \approx \sqrt{9.2944} \approx 3.05164 \]
\[ \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 15.443424} \approx \sqrt{16.443424} \approx 4.05554 \]

So,

\[ T_5 \approx \frac{1}{10} \left[ \sqrt{2} + 2(1.99649) + 2(2.39892) + 2(3.05164) + 2(4.05554) + \sqrt{65} \right] \]
\[ T_5 \approx \frac{1}{10} \left[ 1.41421 + 3.99298 + 4.79784 + 6.10328 + 8.11108 + 8.06225 \right] \]
\[ T_5 \approx \frac{1}{10} \left[ 31.97164 \right] \]
\[ T_5 \approx 3.197164 \]

Therefore, the approximate arc length of \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \) over the interval \([1, 2]\) using the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \) is approximately \( 3.197 \).

gpto1 To find the arc length of the curve \( y = \frac{1}{4} x^4 \) over the interval \([1, 2]\) using the Trapezoidal Rule with \( n = 5 \) subintervals, we'll follow these steps:

### **Step 1: Set Up the Arc Length Integral**

The formula for the arc length \( L \) of a function \( y = f(x) \) from \( x = a \) to \( x = b \) is:

\[
L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + [f'(x)]^2} \, dx
\]

First, compute the derivative of \( y \):

\[
f(x) = \frac{1}{4} x^4 \implies f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1}{4} x^4 \right) = x^3
\]

Then, the expression under the square root becomes:

\[
1 + [f'(x)]^2 = 1 + x^6
\]

So the arc length integral is:

\[
L = \int_{1}^{2} \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx
\]

### **Step 2: Apply the Trapezoidal Rule**

Divide the interval \([1, 2]\) into \( n = 5 \) equal subintervals. The width of each subinterval is:

\[
h = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = 0.2
\]

The \( x \)-values at each node are:

\[
\begin{align*}
x_0 &= 1.0 \\
x_1 &= 1.0 + h = 1.2 \\
x_2 &= 1.0 + 2h = 1.4 \\
x_3 &= 1.0 + 3h = 1.6 \\
x_4 &= 1.0 + 4h = 1.8 \\
x_5 &= 1.0 + 5h = 2.0 \\
\end{align*}
\]

Evaluate the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{1 + x^6} \) at these points:

\[
\begin{align*}
f(x_0) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.0)^6} = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.4142 \\
f(x_1) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 2.98598} \approx \sqrt{3.98598} \approx 1.9970 \\
f(x_2) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 7.52954} \approx \sqrt{8.52954} \approx 2.9211 \\
f(x_3) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 16.7772} \approx \sqrt{17.7772} \approx 4.2164 \\
f(x_4) &= \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6} \approx \sqrt{1 + 34.0122} \approx \sqrt{35.0122} \approx 5.9161 \\
f(x_5) &= \sqrt{1 + (2.0)^6} = \sqrt{1 + 64} = \sqrt{65} \approx 8.0623 \\
\end{align*}
\]

Now, apply the Trapezoidal Rule:

\[
T_n = \frac{h}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} f(x_i) + f(x_n) \right]
\]

Plugging in the computed values:

\[
\begin{align*}
T_5 &= \frac{0.2}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2(f(x_1) + f(x_2) + f(x_3) + f(x_4)) + f(x_5) \right] \\
&= 0.1 \left[ 1.4142 + 2(1.9970 + 2.9211 + 4.2164 + 5.9161) + 8.0623 \right] \\
\end{align*}
\]

Calculate the sum inside:

\[
\begin{align*}
2(f(x_1) + f(x_2) + f(x_3) + f(x_4)) &= 2(1.9970 + 2.9211 + 4.2164 + 5.9161) \\
&= 2(15.0506) = 30.1012 \\
\end{align*}
\]

Now compute \( T_5 \):

\[
\begin{align*}
T_5 &= 0.1 \left[ 1.4142 + 30.1012 + 8.0623 \right] \\
&= 0.1 (39.5777) \\
&= 3.9578 \\
\end{align*}
\]

### **Answer**

**Therefore, the approximate arc length is \( \boxed{3.9578} \) units.**

deepseekv3 To find the arc length of the curve \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \) over the interval \([1, 2]\) using the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \), we follow these steps:

---

### Step 1: Recall the Arc Length Formula
The arc length \( L \) of a curve \( y = f(x) \) over the interval \([a, b]\) is given by:
\[
L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + \left(f'(x)\right)^2} \, dx
\]
Here, \( f(x) = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \), so its derivative is:
\[
f'(x) = x^3
\]
Thus, the integrand becomes:
\[
\sqrt{1 + (x^3)^2} = \sqrt{1 + x^6}
\]

---

### Step 2: Set Up the Arc Length Integral
The arc length \( L \) over \([1, 2]\) is:
\[
L = \int_1^2 \sqrt{1 + x^6} \, dx
\]

---

### Step 3: Apply the Trapezoidal Rule \( T_5 \)
The Trapezoidal Rule approximates the definite integral of a function by dividing the interval into subintervals and approximating the area under the curve with trapezoids.

For \( T_5 \), we divide the interval \([1, 2]\) into \( n = 5 \) subintervals. The width of each subinterval is:
\[
h = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = 0.2
\]
The points \( x_k \) are:
\[
x_0 = 1, x_1 = 1.2, x_2 = 1.4, x_3 = 1.6, x_4 = 1.8, x_5 = 2
\]
The Trapezoidal Rule formula is:
\[
T_n = \frac{h}{2} \left(f(x_0) + 2f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + \dots + 2f(x_{n-1}) + f(x_n)\right)
\]
Here, \( f(x) = \sqrt{1 + x^6} \), so we evaluate \( f(x) \) at each \( x_k \):
\[
f(x_0) = \sqrt{1 + 1^6} = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.4142
\]
\[
f(x_1) = \sqrt{1 + (1.2)^6} \approx 1.5874
\]
\[
f(x_2) = \sqrt{1 + (1.4)^6} \approx 2.0048
\]
\[
f(x_3) = \sqrt{1 + (1.6)^6} \approx 2.6889
\]
\[
f(x_4) = \sqrt{1 + (1.8)^6} \approx 3.6405
\]
\[
f(x_5) = \sqrt{1 + 2^6} = \sqrt{65} \approx 8.0623
\]
Now, substitute these values into the Trapezoidal Rule formula:
\[
T_5 = \frac{0.2}{2} \left(1.4142 + 2(1.5874) + 2(2.0048) + 2(2.6889) + 2(3.6405) + 8.0623\right)
\]
Simplify:
\[
T_5 = 0.1 \left(1.4142 + 3.1748 + 4.0096 + 5.3778 + 7.2810 + 8.0623\right)
\]
\[
T_5 = 0.1 \left(29.3197\right) \approx 2.93197
\]

---

### Final Answer:
The approximate arc length of \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^4 \) over \([1, 2]\) using \( T_5 \) is:
\[
L \approx 2.932
\]
