$\begingroup$ @theonlygusti - That "derivative of volume = area" (or for 2D, "derivative of area = perimeter") trick only works for highly regular shapes. by completing the square OK, now for the harder stuff. It can be quite handy to find a length of polar curve calculator to make the measurement easy and fast. The arc length formula is derived from the methodology of approximating the length of a curve. How do you find the lengths of the curve #y=x^3/12+1/x# for #1<=x<=3#? When \(x=1, u=5/4\), and when \(x=4, u=17/4.\) This gives us, \[\begin{align*} ^1_0(2\sqrt{x+\dfrac{1}{4}})dx &= ^{17/4}_{5/4}2\sqrt{u}du \\[4pt] &= 2\left[\dfrac{2}{3}u^{3/2}\right]^{17/4}_{5/4} \\[4pt] &=\dfrac{}{6}[17\sqrt{17}5\sqrt{5}]30.846 \end{align*}\]. Note: the integral also works with respect to y, useful if we happen to know x=g(y): f(x) is just a horizontal line, so its derivative is f(x) = 0. We are more than just an application, we are a community. \end{align*}\], Let \(u=x+1/4.\) Then, \(du=dx\). \[ \dfrac{}{6}(5\sqrt{5}3\sqrt{3})3.133 \nonumber \].

Let \(f(x)\) be a nonnegative smooth function over the interval \([a,b]\). Interesting point: the "(1 + )" part of the Arc Length Formula guarantees we get at least the distance between x values, such as this case where f(x) is zero. What is the arc length of #f(x)=10+x^(3/2)/2# on #x in [0,2]#? How do you find the length of the curve for #y=x^(3/2) # for (0,6)? How do you find the length of cardioid #r = 1 - cos theta#? What is the arc length of #f(x)=xlnx # in the interval #[1,e^2]#? How do you find the arc length of the curve #f(x)=2(x-1)^(3/2)# over the interval [1,5]? \[ \dfrac{1}{6}(5\sqrt{5}1)1.697 \nonumber \]. What is the arclength of #f(x)=ln(x+3)# on #x in [2,3]#?
