Let f ⁣:[0,1]→[0,∞)f\colon [0,1] \to [0, \infty) be strictly increasing and continuous. Let RR be the region bounded by x=0x=0, x=1x=1, y=0y=0, and y=f(x)y=f(x). Let x1x_1 be the xx-coordinate of the centroid of RR. Let x2x_2 be the xx-coordinate of the centroid of the solid generated by rotating RR around the xx-axis. Prove that x1<x2x_1 < x_2.
