The curve is defined by x(t)=t2x(t)=t^{2} and y(t)=t33y(t)=\dfrac{t^{3}}{3} for 0≤t≤10\le t\le 1. Which of the following is the exact length of the curve on this interval? a) 12(55−8)\dfrac{1}{2}\bigl(5\sqrt{5}-8\bigr) b) 13(55)\dfrac{1}{3}\bigl(5\sqrt{5}\bigr) c) 13(55−8)\dfrac{1}{3}\bigl(5\sqrt{5}-8\bigr) d) 13(55+8)\dfrac{1}{3}\bigl(5\sqrt{5}+8\bigr)
