wath you mean by lenght of curve?  if i undestand right, if f is continuous  and diferenciable  L_(a,b) =∣∫_a ^b (√(1+((df/dx))^2 ))dx∣
$$\mathrm{wath}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{mean}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{lenght}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{curve}? \\ $$$$\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{i}\:\mathrm{undestand}\:\mathrm{right},\:\mathrm{if}\:{f}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{continuous} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{diferenciable} \\ $$$$\mathrm{L}_{{a},{b}} =\mid\underset{{a}} {\overset{{b}} {\int}}\sqrt{\mathrm{1}+\left(\frac{{df}}{{dx}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{dx}\mid \\ $$
