Step 1: Understand the problem. The centroid of a region is the point that represents the average position of the area. The x-coordinate of the centroid is given by the formula: , where A is the total area of the region and dA is the differential area element.
Step 2: Determine the total area of the region. The region is bounded by , , and . To find the area, integrate the function with respect to x over the interval (since ). The area is given by .
Step 3: Set up the integral for the x-coordinate of the centroid. The formula for is . Here, represents the moment of the area about the y-axis.
Step 4: Break down the integral for . Expand the integrand to get . Then, integrate term by term: . Use the power rule for integration to compute each term.
Step 5: Combine the results. After evaluating the integrals for both the area and the x-coordinate moment, substitute these values into the formula . Simplify to find the x-coordinate of the centroid. The final result will be .
