![**Title: Determining the Centroid of an Area through Direct Integration**
**Problem Statement**
Determine the centroid of the area shown by direct integration.
**Diagram Explanation**
A shaded region is depicted under two curves on a standard Cartesian plane. The x-axis and y-axis intersect at the origin. The area is bounded by:
- The line \( y_1 = mx \), which represents a straight line starting from the origin.
- The curve \( y_2 = kx^{1/2} \), which is a parabolic curve opening to the right.
- The vertical line at \( x = a \), marking the right boundary of the region.
- The horizontal line at \( y = b \), marking the top boundary.
Dimensions involved are marked:
- The horizontal distance from the origin to the vertical boundary is labeled \( a \).
- The vertical distance from the x-axis to the horizontal boundary is labeled \( b \).
**Centroid Calculation**
The centroid coordinates \((\bar{x}, \bar{y})\) are represented as:
\[
\bar{x} = \left( \frac{\text{[Expression for }\bar{x]\text{]}} \right) \, \text{a}.
\]
\[
\bar{y} = \left( \frac{\text{[Expression for }\bar{y]\text{]}} \right) \, \text{b}.
\]
To solve, integrate over the specified area using methods appropriate for the geometry of the region defined by the curves.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fffc9e826-c865-4bea-8e1f-6dcccd31bfb0%2F614183ae-292c-4d4c-a72f-732c4a56b595%2Fuvxnis9o_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
