The arc length is
∫ (0 to 1) √{[x'(t)]² + [y'(t)]² + [z'(t)]²} dt
where x'(t), y'(t), and z'(t) are the respective components of r(t). Therefore
x'(t) = 8√2
y'(t) = 8e^(4t)
z'(t) = -8e^(-4t)
which gives us
∫ (0 to 1) √{(8√2)² + [8e^(4t)]² + [-8e^(-4t)]²}dt =
∫ (0 to 1) √[(64)(2) + 64e^(8t) + 64e^(-8t)]dt =
8∫ (0 to 1) √[e^(8t) + 2 + e^(-8t)]dt =
8∫ (0 to 1) √{[e^(4t)]² + 2[e^(4t)][e^(-4t)] + [e^(-4t)]²}dt =
8∫ (0 to 1) √[e^(4t) + e^(-4t)]²dt =
8∫ (0 to 1) [e^(4t) + e^(-4t)]dt =
8[(1/4)e^(4t) - (1/4)e^(-4t)] (0 to 1) =
8[(1/4)e^4 - (1/4)e^(-4) - 1/4 + 1/4] =
2e^4 - 2e^(-4).
I hope that helps!
