In this video I go over the more general case of determining the centroid, or center of mass, of a region and this time look at the case where the region is bounded by two curves. In my earlier video I derived the centroid for the case where the region was bounded by the curve and the x-axis. The derivation that I follow in this video is very similar to that for the simpler case but the only difference now is that the rectangular subinterval has a different area and centroid. This leads to slightly different formulas but I show later on in this video that it is in fact a more general case for the simpler case, which is simply the second curve having the function g(x) = 0, which is just the x-axis! This is a great video to further reinforce your understanding of deriving integral formulas and how slightly modifying the starting parameters affects the final formulas, so make sure to watch this video!

Applications of Integrals: Moments and Centers of Mass: Bounded by Two Curves
In my earlier video I derived the formulas for centers of mass for a region bounded by a function and the x-axis:

In fact we can use the same sort of argument that led to the above formulas but this time to obtain the formulas for the centroid of a region R that lies between two curves y = f(x) and y = g(x) where f(x) ≥ g(x). Doing so will obtain the following formulas:
