- Length[ <Vector> ]
- Yields the length of the vector.
- Length[ <Point> ]
- Yields the length of the position vector of the given point.
- Length[ <Function>, <Start x-Value>, <End x-Value> ]
- Yields the length of the function graph in the given interval.
- Example:
Length[2x, 0, 1]
returns 2.23606797749979, about \sqrt{5}.
- Length[ <Function>, <Start Point>, <End Point> ]
- Yields the length of the function graph between the two points.
- Note: If the given points do not lie on the function graph, their x‐coordinates are used to determine the interval.
- Length[ <Curve>, <Start x-Value>, <End x-Value> ]
- Yields the length of the curve between the two values.
- Length[ <Curve>, <Start Point>, <End Point> ]
- Yields the length of the curve between the two points that lie on the curve.
- Length[ <List> ]
- Yields the length of the list, which is the number of elements in the list.
- Length[ <Text> ]
- Yields the number of characters in the text.
- Length[ <Locus> ]
- Returns the number of points that the given locus is made up of. Use Perimeter[Locus] to get the length of the locus itself. For details see the article about First Command.
- Length[ <Arc> ]
- Returns the arc length (i.e. just the length of the curved section) of an arc or sector.
CAS Syntax
- Length[ <Function>, <x-start>, <x-end> ]
- Calculates the length of a function graph between the two points.
- Example:
Length[2 x, 0, 1]
yields \sqrt{5}.
- Length[ <Function>, <Variable a>, <Number t1>, <Number t2> ]
- Calculates the length of a function graph from point a=t1 to point a=t2.
- Example:
Length[2 a, a, 0, 1]
yields \sqrt{5}.
