A composite curve C\mathcal{C} consists of two segments: • C1:x=y2C_{1}: x=y^{2} for 0≤y≤10\le y\le 1 • C2C_{2}: the horizontal line segment from (1,1)(1,1) to (3,1)(3,1) What is the exact total length of C\mathcal{C}? a) 2+52+\sqrt{5} b) 125+2\displaystyle \frac12\sqrt{5}+2 c) 125+14ln⁡(2+5)\displaystyle \frac12\sqrt{5}+\frac14\ln\bigl(2+\sqrt{5}\bigr) d) 125+14ln⁡(2+5)+2\displaystyle \frac12\sqrt{5}+\frac14\ln\bigl(2+\sqrt{5}\bigr)+2
