![**Determine the Centroid of the Area when \( a = 5 \, \text{in.} \)**
**Diagram Description:**
The diagram shows a shaded area under the curve \( y = \frac{1}{x^2} \), bounded by the x-axis and vertical lines at \( x = 1 \) and \( x = a \). The width and height of the shaded region are both labeled as \( a \).
**Integral Table: MATLAB Commands and Calculations**
1. **Area Calculation:**
\[
\text{Area} = \int_{x_1}^{x_2} \frac{1}{x^2} \, dx = -\frac{1}{x_2} + \frac{1}{x_1}
\]
MATLAB commands:
```matlab
syms x y x1 x2
f = 1/x^2;
Area = int(f, x, x1, x2) = int(int(1, y, 0, f), x, x1, x2)
```
2. **\( Q_y \) Calculation:**
\[
Q_y = \int_{x_1}^{x_2} \frac{1}{x^2} \, dx = \ln(x_2) - \ln(x_1)
\]
MATLAB commands:
```matlab
Qy = int(x*f, x, x1, x2) = int(int(x*y, 0, f), x, x1, x2)
```
3. **\( Q_x \) Calculation:**
\[
Q_x = \int_{x_1}^{x_2} \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{x^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{6(x_1)^3} - \frac{1}{6(x_2)^3}
\]
MATLAB commands:
```matlab
Qx = int((f/2)*f, x, x1, x2) = int(int(y*y, 0, f), x, x1, x2)
```
**Centroid Coordinates:**
\[
\bar{Y} : \, \_\_\_\_ \, \text{in.}
\]
