This applet is designed to explore finding the length of the graph of a
function, one of the standard applications of integration
Using the control window the user sets the viewing window with
the xWindow and yWindow variables. The xRange variable sets the
limits of integration.
The function ,
is the integrand we use
to find arc length.
Read out boxes give the value of f at x0, along woith the value
of the legth unit at that point. A readout box gives the value of
the arclength over the defined region.
,
