So I am trying to get the first 25 terms of a sequence, a(n) = (ln (n))/n, this is how I input it in maple:

> q := seq([ln(n)/n, a(n)], n = 1 .. 25);
 

answer:
[ln, a(1)], [ln, a(2)], [ln, a(3)], [ln, a(4)], [ln, a(5)], [ln, a(6)], 

[ln, a(7)], [ln, a(8)], [ln, a(9)], [ln, a(10)], [ln, a(11)], [ln, a(12)],

[ln, a(13)], [ln, a(14)], [ln, a(15)], [ln, a(16)], [ln, a(17)],

[ln, a(18)], [ln, a(19)], [ln, a(20)], [ln, a(21)], [ln, a(22)],

[ln, a(23)], [ln, a(24)], [ln, a(25)]
 

So I am trying to find the arc length of an ellipse, and we have yet to learn it in the classroom.

An example ellipse:

(x^2)/9 +(y^2)/16 =1

So my professor gave me a sheet of Arc Length eqautions, but wasnt helpful in how to input it into Maple.

I found something about using is with (VectorCalculus), but I have not had much luck.

The problem I am starting off with, is "Find the arc length of the curve y^2+y =x from x=1..x=6 in two different ways, and plot the curve with Maple.

Any help on getting started would be great.
