The “arc length function” for a curve y = f(x), where f is an increasing
function, is s(x) = √(3t + 5) dt. from 0 to X.

(a) If f has y-intercept 2, find an equation for f.
(b) What point on the graph of f is exactly 3 units along the curve from the yintercept? State your answer rounded to 3 decimal places.
