\Green colour curve represents the function.
\Plue colour represents the length of the curve over the interval
.
(b)
\Definition of Arc Length:
\Let the function given by
represent a smooth curve on the interval
.
The arc length of
between
and
is
.
Consider

(c)
\The arc length is
.
Consider the integrand
.
Graph the function
on
.

Observe the graph:
