Hopefully someone can try and figure this out and hopefully I can remember all of it.
You have the graph of e^(-x).
Rotate it around the X-axis.
What is the center of mass? As in x-bar, y-bar, and z-bar as we call them. The letters with the lines over them. Obviously if you look at the 3d object, you can use symmetry to establish that the y and z coordinates are going to be 0. But what is the x? As in how far along the x-axis is the center of mass? Hopefully I've explained it enough.
