I have a code that needs to evalaute the arc length equation below:
syms x
a = 10; b = 10; c = 10; d = 10;
fun = 4*a*x^3+3*b*x^2+2*c*x+d
int((1+(fun)^2)^.5)
but all that returns is below:
ans =
int(((40*x^3 + 30*x^2 + 20*x + 10)^2 + 1)^(1/2), x)
Why wont matlab evaluate this integral? I added a line under to check if it would evaulate int(x) and it returned the desired result.
