I have a cycloide
$ {x(t)=5 (t-\sin(t)), y(t)=5(1-\cos(t))} $ and
$ {x(t)=5 (t-\sin(t)), y(t)=-5(1-\cos(t))} $
and the aim is to find the circumference and to find it I have to show and take the differentiate integral:
$$ \int \sqrt{50-50\cos(t)}\ dt $$
so I need help with it
Is the right anwser $ \frac{-20}{\sqrt{tan^2( \frac{t}{2})+1}} $ ??
Hint:
$$\sqrt{50-50\cos(t)}=\sqrt{50}\cdot \sqrt{1-\cos(t)}$$
and
$$\sqrt{1-\cos(t)}=\sqrt{2}\cdot|\sin(t/2)| $$
