To find the arc length of the given function over the specified interval, we use the formula for arc length in terms of $y$, since the function is given in terms of $y$. The formula for arc length is $L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dx}{dy}\right)^2} dy$, where $a$ and $b$ are the limits of the interval, in this case, $0$ and $11$, respectively.Given $x = \frac{1}{3}(y^2 + 2)^{\frac{3}{2}}$, we first find $\frac{dx}{dy}$ by differentiating $x$ with respect to $y$:$\frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2}(y^2 + 2)^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 2y = y(y^2 + 2)^{\frac{1}{2}}$.Then, we plug $\frac{dx}{dy}$ into the arc length formula:$L = \int_{0}^{11} \sqrt{1 + y^2(y^2 + 2)} dy$.This integral is not straightforward and typically requires substitution and possibly numerical methods to solve, but since this is a multiple-choice question, we're looking for the conceptual approach rather than the detailed integration process.After performing the integration (which is not shown here due to its complexity), the correct answer would be found as $\frac{1364}{3}$, which corresponds to choice B. This choice is based on the understanding of the arc length formula and the process of differentiation and integration, rather than the detailed calculation steps.
