Consider a graph of a function of unknown length L which can be represented as y f x for a x b or x g y for c y d. This length can be expressed as the sum of the lengths of the graph from x a i - 1Dx to x a iDx for i 1 n where Dx b - an. More precisely we want to calculate the length of the graph of a function f x from x a to x b.
D x 2 d y 2.
