Arc length formula (Cartesian form)

s=∫x1x21+(dydx)2 dxs = \int_{x_1}^{x_2} \sqrt{1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^2} \, dx

Arc length formula (parametric form)

s=∫(dxdt)2+(dydt)2dts = \int \sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt})^2 + (\frac{dy}{dt})^2} dt

Surface area formula (Cartesian, about xx-axis)

S=2π∫y1+(dydx)2dxS = 2\pi \int y \sqrt{1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^2} dx

Surface area formula (parametric, about xx-axis)

S=2π∫y(dxdt)2+(dydt)2dtS = 2\pi \int y \sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt})^2 + (\frac{dy}{dt})^2} dt

Key difference: arc length vs surface area formula

Surface area includes the 2πy2\pi y factor

Starting equation for arc length derivation

(δs)2=(δx)2+(δy)2(\delta s)^2 = (\delta x)^2 + (\delta y)^2 (Pythagoras)
