Refer to the attached image. The plot of is in red color and the plot of
is in blue color. The curves intersect at
and
.
Now let's evaluate the area (A) of the region,
Using basic integration properties:
Now let's evaluate the moments about the x- and y-axes using the formulas stated above,
Evaluate using the basic integration rules:
Now evaluate the center of mass by plugging in the values of moments and area as below:
The center of mass are
