Set Up, but Do Not Evaluate, an Integral That Represents $$x = t - t ^ { 10 } , y = \frac { 10 } { 9 } t ^ { 9 / 8 } , \quad 8 \leq \mathrm { t } \leq 18$$

question 16

Short Answer

Set up, but do not evaluate, an integral that represents the length of the parametric curve. $$x = t - t ^ { 10 } , y = \frac { 10 } { 9 } t ^ { 9 / 8 } , \quad 8 \leq \mathrm { t } \leq 18$$

Definitions:

Backward-Bending

Describes a labor supply curve reflecting a situation where higher wages lead to a decrease in labor supplied because individuals opt for leisure over work.

Labor Supply Curve

A graphical representation showing the relationship between the different levels of wages and the quantity of labor workers are willing to supply.

Income Effect

A person’s willingness to give up some income in exchange for more leisure time.

Substitution Effect

If the price of a resource, say labor, goes up, business firms tend to substitute capital or land for some of their now-expensive workers. Also, the substitution of more hours of work for leisure time as the wage rate rises.
