What is the arc length of f(x)=x^2/12 + x^(-1) on x in [2,3]? Calculus Applications of Definite Integrals Determining the Length of a Curve 1 Answer Sonnhard Jun 18, 2018 approx 1.03425 Explanation: f'(x)=1/6x-1/x^2 so our integral will be int_2^3sqrt(1+(1/6*x-1/x^2)^2)dx approx 1.03425 Answer link Related questions How do you find the arc length of y=ln(cos(x)) on the interval [pi/6,pi/4]?
