For a function f (x) where xi = xi(s, t), the derivative df dt. A function f is di erentiable at (a, b) if lim x,y a,b fx(x, y) and lim x,y a,b fy(x, y) (8) exist. The linear and quadratic approximations of a n x = 0 for n = x12 x13. The arc length is l = r b. B = (cid:18)t = r a r (t) dt. The curvature of a function is function are. L(x) = f (x0) + n x. 2 ( x)t hx0( x) lim x,y 0,0 f (x, y) = lim r 0 f (r, ) = f (0, 0) (5) The derivative of a function f (x) is.
