Find the centroid of the region bounded by the graphs of and

Given curves are ,



let



and


In order to find the Centroid of the region bounded by the curves ,


first we have to find the area bounded by the curves ,so ,


now in order to find the area , we have to find the intersecting points of the curves. This can be obtained by equating f(x) and g(x) .


=>


=>


=>


=>


=> ---------(1)


so the curves


so the area where the lower bound is -a, and the upper bound is a




The function which is being integrated is an even function so,


=


=




let ------(2)


so ,


but from (1) and (2) we get


is



=>


so


so ,now with the new integrals we get


area


  =


  =


  =


  =


  =


  =


we can right the above integral as


  =


  as we know that


now ,


area =


=


 =


=


=


=


=


Now the centroid of the region bounded the curves is given as ,


let be the co- ordinates of the centroid so ,


is given as



  where the limits 


so,



=


=



let



The bounds are then  and 


so, 



since for it follows that  


so,



and now let us and so ,


is given as



    where the


so ,


=


=


=


=


=


since the function which is being integrated is even function so ,we can write the above equation as


=


=


=


=


=


=


=


=


=


=


so the centroid of the area bounded by the curves is


=
