Computed by WolframAlpha
The arclength is 7.01539

Arclength along a curve

#s = int_a^b sqrt(1 + (f'(x))^2)dx#

#f'(x) = -e^(1/x)/x^3-e^(1/x)/x^2-(3 e^(1/x^3))/x^7-(2 e^(1/x^2))/x^5-(3 e^(1/x^3))/x^4-(2 e^(1/x^2))/x^3#

This is the definite integral:

#s = int_1^2 sqrt(1 + (-e^(1/x)/x^3-e^(1/x)/x^2-(3 e^(1/x^3))/x^7-(2 e^(1/x^2))/x^5-(3 e^(1/x^3))/x^4-(2 e^(1/x^2))/x^3)^2)dx#

#s = 7.01539#
