Can the length formula of any curve be written as ∫ (DX + dy) ^ 1 / 2?

Can the length formula of any curve be written as ∫ (DX + dy) ^ 1 / 2?

Well, you're missing a DX. The integral sign is a summation sign, but there are infinitely many summation terms. In the future, you will find that there are many formulas for calculating the length of a curve, but they are all evolved from this one. In the future, you will encounter curves expressed by parametric equations, polar coordinates, cylindrical coordinates, and spherical coordinates
