help me

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm is that \[\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+(f'(x))^2}dx\]

ya

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

really, even it is the case, you giving insufficient info

that integral gives us the arclength

geerky42 (geerky42):

we are still hungry for more information.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
