Undergrad Calculating the length of a tangent curve
Ok, sorry, you're right... Thought it crossed 1,1 but that was based on a graph of it only. Still, anyone know how generally to find the length of a tangent curve? KTM -

Undergrad Calculating the length of a tangent curve
Actually, it is... that's what the 5/8 is for. It shrinks the tangent vertically just enough for the curve to cross (-1,-1), (1,1), and (0,0). I still don't know how to go about finding the length of the curve though. Keeaga -

Undergrad Calculating the length of a tangent curve
Considering f(x) = tan(x) * 5 / 8 ... how can I find the length of the curve, specifically, between (0, 0) and (1, 1) ? if anyone can help I would be happy. Thanks Keeaga
