(Another)3 Alternative Formula for Curvature Given r = f((): For a 2D plane curve defined by the polar function r = f((), Practice: Use this new formula to find the curvature of the general parabola y = ax2 + bx + c. Notice that the largest curvature is at the vertex, where x = -b/2a. Calc 3 … ................
