o 4) Length, L of any curve, C
Just an FYI, the area of a shape, S of a cicle of adius  is π2 = π and the
circumference of S is π = π not the shape is eual to π o π.
Example: Set up a definite integral for length of graph of f(x) = (x 1)2 on [0, 2]
using the language of approximations.
If the curve C is partitioned into N parts of equal width 
, then the kth part has
width 
and height approximately 


in which 
 
is

 and 
is in terms of run so when multiplied, 
 , we are left with rise
which is what we are looking for when approximating height. Thus, the length is
