To find the length of the curve from ( t = 0 ) to ( t = \frac{3\pi}{2} ), you can use the arc length formula for parametric equations:
[ L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right)^2} dt ]
Given ( x = 10(\cos t + t\sin t) ) and ( y = 10(\sin t - t\cos t) ), you need to compute ( \frac{dx}{dt} ) and ( \frac{dy}{dt} ), and then integrate from ( t = 0 ) to ( t = \frac{3\pi}{2} ).
[ \frac{dx}{dt} = -10(t\cos t) ] [ \frac{dy}{dt} = 10(t\sin t) ]
Now, plug these into the arc length formula:
[ L = \int_{0}^{\frac{3\pi}{2}} \sqrt{\left(-10(t\cos t)\right)^2 + \left(10(t\sin t)\right)^2} dt ]
[ L = \int_{0}^{\frac{3\pi}{2}} \sqrt{100t^2(\cos^2 t + \sin^2 t)} dt ]
[ L = \int_{0}^{\frac{3\pi}{2}} \sqrt{100t^2} dt ]
[ L = \int_{0}^{\frac{3\pi}{2}} 10t dt ]
[ L = 10\int_{0}^{\frac{3\pi}{2}} t dt ]
[ L = 10\left[\frac{t^2}{2}\right]_{0}^{\frac{3\pi}{2}} ]
[ L = 10\left(\frac{9\pi^2}{8}\right) ]
[ L = \frac{45\pi^2}{4} ]
So, the length of the curve from ( t = 0 ) to ( t = \frac{3\pi}{2} ) is ( \frac{45\pi^2}{4} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
