TopicParametric equations

9 The curve \(C\) has parametric equations $$x = 4 t + 2 t ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } , \quad y = 4 t - 2 t ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } , \quad \text { for } 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 4$$ Find the arc length of \(C\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures. Find the mean value of \(y\) with respect to \(x\) over the interval \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 32\).
