LENGTH OF AN ARC

Let the function given by y=f(x) represent a smooth curve on the interval.

The arc length of the function f between a and b is,

Similarly, for the smooth curve given by x=g(y), arc length of function g between c and d is,

Determine the length of y=ln(secx) between

In this case we’ll need to use the first ds since the function is in the form y=f(x). So, let’s get the derivative out of

the way.
