For this problem, we are asked to find the centroid of the region bounded by the graphs of the given equations, y equals x plus 1, y equals 0, and x equals 3.
00:09
So we'll have to note here that if we have y equals x plus 1, well, the y equals 0 line is equal to the x axis.
00:18
And if y equals x plus 1, be going across like this, and it's bounded by x equals 3.
00:30
So we'd be integrating from negative 1 up to positive 3.
00:34
So in that case, to find the centroid, we start off by finding a, which will be the integral from, excuse me, not 0, it's the integral from negative 1 up to 3 of f of x.
00:45
So that will be x plus 1 dx.
00:48
I don't know why my tablet does that, but i'm just going to leave it there.
00:51
So we then have the integral of x plus 1 dx becomes x squared over 2 plus x evaluated from negative 1 to 3.
00:59
Which will be equal to 8.
01:02
So we have a equals 8.
01:04
Then our center of math, or our moment about x equals 0, will be equal to the integral from negative 1 up to 3 of x times f of x...
