Let y=f(x),axb be the given curve. The arc length LL of such curve is given by the definite integral
=ab1+[(x)]2dx
Let x=g(t),y=h(t) where c≤x≤d be the parametric equations of the curve y=f(x).
Then the arc length of the curve is given by
L=cd(dxdt)2+(dydt)2dt
Here x(t)=sec2t,y(t)=sint where π/3xπ/3
be the parametric equations of the curve y=f(x). Then the arc length of the curve is given by
L=π/3π/3sec(2t)2+sin(t)2dt=π/3π/3sec22t+sin2tdt.
