Consider the following curves:
y=f(x)=ex, y=0, x=0, x=5
Find the exact coordinates of the centroid
Calculate the total are as follows:
A=abf(x)dx
=05exdx
=(ex)05
=e51

Calculate the y-coordinates of the centroid as follows:
y=MxA
Here Mx=12abf2(x)dx
=1205(ex)2dx
=1205e2xdx
=12(e2x2)05
=14(e101)
Then, y=MxA
=14(e101)e51
=14×(e5)212e51
=14×(e51)(e5+1)e51
=14(e5+1)

Calculate the x-coordinates of the centroid as follows:
x=MyA
Here My=abxf(x)dx
=05xexdx
=5e5e5+1
4e5+1
Then, x=MyA
4e5+1e51
4.0
