    Description: We can use calculus to compute the arclength of differentiable curves. In this video we develop the formula from basic ideas of integral calculus. Then, knowing the formula, we apply it in a special case, computing the circumfrence of a circle. Of course we have long since memorized that formula, but isn't it nice to see it actually derived?

    Dear Dr. Trefor, Because of a logical and step-by-step way you have explained/derived the Arclength Formula, even someone with less mathematical knowledge can understand this, so to speak. Very well done Dr. Trefor and thank you!

      Dear Dr. Trefor, Thank you very much for your quick reply. I often wonder how someone like you for instance with so much knowledge looks at everyday life; is it still possible to observe life events with a neutral view? Maybe an impertinent question of me, in that case I apologize sincerely! Well-balanced, educational and enjoyable math videos, Dr. Trefor. greetings from the other side of the atlantic sea...

    a quick way to understand the formula also comes from the idea that, if you move along a curve, distance comes from integrating speed, i.e. magnitude of velocity. Understanding that this implies length comes from integrating the magnitude of changes in x and y can allow you to extrapolate to the formula pretty quickly.

      Reimann sum. You can pick any x as long as x is in the interval delta_x. The result is the same.

    deriving this is difficult
    modeling with differential calculus is still hard, eg trying to derive the differential equation for a one-dimensional wave/string is hard

    Hello Dr. Bazett, I was going to ask why this formula was different than the one for 3D curves with parametric equations, and I think it just clicked why they are different. Here you are converting the change in 'Y' into terms of x because you integrating the curve between some bounds with a change in 'x', but when we are doing parametric curves we need the terms in the form t because we are integrating over some bounds with a change in 't'.

    8:09 HOW CAN WE TAKE FROM -1 TO 1 IF THE DERIVATIVE IS NOT DEFINDED IN THE BOUNDARIES, I MEAN IF F IS DEFINED OVER -1:1 INCLUDING BOUNDARIES THEN THE DERIVATIVE IS DEFINED OVER THE OPEN INTERVAL, SO HOW CAN WE INCLUDE THE BOUNDARIES WHEN INTEGRATING

    Sir, can you please help me, when we have taken the limits for a full Circle, then arclength should be 2π. But that isn't the case here?

    • @carultch
      @carultch Рік тому

      He took the limit as delta x goes to zero, and n goes to infinity. Just like Riemann sums become integration by doing the same thing when we are first introduced to integration, this sum becomes integration as well. Taking the limit as our segments get small, and our number of segments gets large.
