    Nov 4, 2023 · Proof for the formula of arc length of parametric equations Ask Question Asked 2 years ago Modified 1 year, 11 months ago

  2. calculus - Calculating the arc length of a curve... Which formula ...

    Jun 23, 2024 · That first formula basically leaves out the "Jacobian" factor related to stretching/twisting this curve into whatever shape it takes in three-dimensional space under …

  3. calculus - Intuition behind arc length formula - Mathematics Stack …

    I understand the arc length formula is derived from adding the distances between a series of points on the curve, and using the mean value theorem to get: $ L = \int_a^b \sqrt { 1 + (f' …

  4. Proof of formula for the arc length - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 22, 2019 · I've read the proof of formula for arc length . I wonder why the function has to have continuous derivative (According to the Stewart Calculus book). I mean in which part of the …

  5. calculus - Is arc length displacement or distance traveled ...

    Feb 10, 2023 · This looks similar to the formula for the magnitude of displacement, as the integral gives the area under the velocity-time graph. But arc length, as I understand it, should be …

  8. calculus - formula for arc length. - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    May 2, 2019 · 2) We approximate/cover the arbitrary arc with infinitesimally small line segments. 3) We add the lengths of the small lines segments together and call the result, the length of …

  9. Circular Argument in Proof of Circumference of a Circle using …

    Aug 6, 2021 · But again, circumference = full arc length = $2\pi r$ $\therefore$ $\theta$ (full) = $\frac {2\pi r} {r}$ = $\mathbf2\mathbf\pi$ The relationship between angle and length is also …

  10. calculus - Why does the arc length formula not work for this …

    Jun 7, 2022 · 1 if you use the standard formula for the arc length of a parametric curve ($\int_0^ {2\pi}\sqrt {\dot {x}^2+\dot {y}^2}dt$), it gives you an answer of $0$ which is obviously wrong. …
