## Problem Statement

Calculate the lengths of the arcs of the curves given by the equations in polar coordinates.

$$
\rho=\sqrt{2} e^{\varphi}, 0 \leq \varphi \leq \frac{\pi}{3}
$$
## Solution

The length of the arc of a curve given by an equation in polar coordinates is determined by the formula

$$
L=\int_{\phi_{1}}^{\phi_{2}} \sqrt{\rho^{2}+\left(\frac{d \rho}{d \phi}\right)^{2}} d \phi
$$

Let's find $\frac{d \rho}{d \phi}$:

$$
\frac{d \rho}{d \phi}=\sqrt{2} e^{\phi}
$$

We get:

$$
\begin{aligned}
L & =\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} \sqrt{\left(\sqrt{2} e^{\phi}\right)^{2}+\left(\sqrt{2} e^{\phi}\right)^{2}} d \phi= \\
& =\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} \sqrt{4 e^{2 \phi}} d \phi= \\
& =2 \int_{0}^{\pi / 3} e^{\phi} d \phi=\left.2 \cdot e^{\phi}\right|_{0} ^{\pi / 3}=2 \cdot\left(e^{\pi / 3}-1\right)
\end{aligned}
$$
