Length of a Curve
Example Find the length of y = sin x from x = 0 to x =
Example Find the length of from x = 0 to 1
Example – Vertical Tangent Find the length of from (-8,-2) to (8,2) Can’t take derivative because of vertical tangent at y = 0 so change to function of y
Example – Cusp or Corner Find the length of from x = -4 to x = 4 Can’t take derivative because of corner so split into two parts
Example Show using calculus that the circumference of a circle with radius 5 is 10
