15. From the figure, we only need to determine the length of one part of the astroid x2/3 + y 2/3 = 1. Using
symmetry, we can then multiply that by 4 to get the total length. Let’s compute the length of the
curve in the first quadrant.
dy
First, we must compute . We will do this by implicit differentiation:
dx
d 2/3 d
x + y 2/3 = (1)
dx dx
2 −1/3 2 −1/3 dy
x + y =0
3 3 dx
1 1 dy

y 1/3 dx x
dy y 1/3
= − 1/3
dx x

Therefore, we have:

where we used the fact that x2/3 + y 2/3 = 1 to simplify the fraction.
