To find the centroid of a triangle with vertices at (5, 2), (4, 6), and (3, 1), you would calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the vertices. Then, the distance from the centroid to the origin can be found using the distance formula.
First, find the centroid:
(x) coordinate of centroid = ((5 + 4 + 3) / 3 = 4)
(y) coordinate of centroid = ((2 + 6 + 1) / 3 = 3)
So, the centroid is at (4, 3).
Now, calculate the distance from the centroid to the origin:
Distance = (\sqrt{(4 - 0)^2 + (3 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5)
Therefore, the distance from the triangle's centroid to the origin is 5 units.

To find the centroid of a triangle, you average the coordinates of its vertices.
Centroid coordinates: [ (\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}) ]
Given coordinates: ( (5, 2) ), ( (4, 6) ), ( (3, 1) )
Centroid coordinates: [ (\frac{5 + 4 + 3}{3}, \frac{2 + 6 + 1}{3}) ] [ (\frac{12}{3}, \frac{9}{3}) ] [ (4, 3) ]
Using the distance formula, the distance between the centroid and the origin ( (0, 0) ) is calculated as:
[ d = \sqrt{(x - 0)^2 + (y - 0)^2} ] [ d = \sqrt{(4 - 0)^2 + (3 - 0)^2} ] [ d = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} ] [ d = \sqrt{16 + 9} ] [ d = \sqrt{25} ] [ d = 5 ]
So, the distance from the triangle's centroid to the origin is 5 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.
