To find the centroid of a triangle with vertices at (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3), you can use the formula:
Centroid = ((x1 + x2 + x3) / 3, (y1 + y2 + y3) / 3)
For the given triangle with vertices at (1, 4), (3, 4), and (6, 2), the coordinates of the centroid can be calculated as follows:
x-coordinate of centroid = (1 + 3 + 6) / 3 = 10 / 3 y-coordinate of centroid = (4 + 4 + 2) / 3 = 10 / 3
So, the centroid of the triangle is at the point (10/3, 10/3).
To find the distance between the centroid and the origin, you can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Substituting the coordinates of the centroid (10/3, 10/3) and the origin (0, 0) into the formula:
Distance = √((10/3 - 0)^2 + (10/3 - 0)^2) = √((100/9) + (100/9)) = √(200/9) = √(200) / 3 ≈ 6.67
So, the distance between the centroid of the triangle and the origin is approximately 6.67 units.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
