MAT 21B – Lecture 12 – Application of Definite Integrals in Length of a Curve
• Applications of Definite Integrals
o 1) Quantities from Rates
o 2) Area, A of any shape, S
o 3) Volume, V of any solid, S
▪ Cross Sections
▪ Cylindrical Shells
o 4) Length, L of any curve, C
• Just an FYI, the area of a shape, S of a cicle of adius is π2 = π and the
circumference of S is π = π not the shape is eual 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
