Sketch the region bounded by the curves. Find the exact coordinates of the centroid. y=2x, y=0, x=1

OpenStudy (simoner):

the answer is supposed to be (2/3, 2/3) but when i worked out the problem i didn't get that and i want to know what i did wrong

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what are the three coordinates of the points on the triangle?

OpenStudy (simoner):

0,0 1,0 1,1?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

first two are right to get that last point, use the equations of the lines y=2x and x=1

OpenStudy (simoner):

is it 1,.5?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

y = 2(1) =

OpenStudy (simoner):

2

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so (x,y) for the top point on the triangle is (1,2) |dw:1424329393333:dw|
