                                  NOTE:  The problem numbers in section 9.1 are the same in all 
                                         editions.

                        Consider all curves which connect (0,0) to (a,h) in the plane and are 
                        graphs of functions in C^1[0,a].  Write down a functional whose value 
                        on such a curve is the length of the curve.  Compute the variation of 
                        this functional and determine all minimizers in C^2[0,a].
