To find the length of an arc covering ( \frac{\pi}{4} ) radians on the circle, you need to follow these steps:
- Calculate the radius of the circle using the distance formula between the center and the given point on the circle.
- Use the formula for the circumference of a circle to find the total circumference.
- Use the formula for arc length to find the length of the arc for ( \frac{\pi}{4} ) radians.
Let's proceed with the steps:
-
Calculate the radius using the distance formula: [ \text{radius} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} ] Given: [ (x_1, y_1) = (7, 9) ] [ (x_2, y_2) = (4, 3) ] [ \text{radius} = \sqrt{(4 - 7)^2 + (3 - 9)^2} ] [ \text{radius} = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-6)^2} ] [ \text{radius} = \sqrt{9 + 36} ] [ \text{radius} = \sqrt{45} ] [ \text{radius} = 3\sqrt{5} ]
-
Calculate the total circumference: [ \text{circumference} = 2\pi \times \text{radius} ] [ \text{circumference} = 2\pi \times 3\sqrt{5} ] [ \text{circumference} = 6\pi\sqrt{5} ]
-
Calculate the length of the arc for ( \frac{\pi}{4} ) radians: [ \text{arc length} = \text{radius} \times \text{angle in radians} ] [ \text{arc length} = 3\sqrt{5} \times \frac{\pi}{4} ] [ \text{arc length} = \frac{3\pi\sqrt{5}}{4} ]
Therefore, the length of the arc covering ( \frac{\pi}{4} ) radians on the circle is ( \frac{3\pi\sqrt{5}}{4} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
