Area, Moments, and Centers of Mass

Area of bounded regions in the plane

EXAMPLE 1 Find the area of the region R bounded by y = x and y = x2 in the first
quadrant.

EXAMPLE 2 Finding Area

Find the area of the region R enclosed by the parabola y= x2 and the line y = x +
2
Solution If we divide R into the regions and shown in Figure below, we may
calculate the area as:

On the other hand, reversing the order of integration (Figure b) gives

EXAMPLE 3 Finding the Center of Mass of a Thin Plate of Variable Density
A thin plate covers the triangular region bounded by the x-axis and the lines x
= 1 and y = 2x in the first quadrant. The plate’s density at the point (x, y) is p (x,
y) = 6x + 6y +6. Find the plate’s mass, first moments, and center of mass about
the coordinate axes.
Solution:
