Hello again, everyone!! I'm hoping to get a little more help? I'm not quite sure why I keep getting so tripped up on these centroid problems!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Center of mass question: centroid of region bounded by y=x^3, 3y-18x=27, x=0

If you show your work, we can see what is tripping you, and help you avoid it in the future! Just showing you some correct work wouldn't help nearly as much.
In fact, we don't even know yet that your answer was really wrong. (Sometimes the computer has it wrong, or is just too picky about how you enter the answer!)
Would you be able to solve, if the problem was:
Find the centroid of the area bounded by the graphs of the functions y = x3, x= 0 and x =2

OOOOps I posted without reading the post thoroughly. The revised request should be:

Finding the centroid of a planar region should be generalized in your text.
