Back for a couple more I'm having a little trouble with. The first is

sech(1/x)tanh(1/x) all over x^2

Here I'm not sure how to deal with integrating hyperbolics at all as we haven't gotten to it in class yet. I did some searching on the internet and found that the integral tanh(x)sech(x) = -sech(x) + C. With all of it being over x^2 it becomes a little more complicated.

Do I rewrite x^2 as x^-2 and multiply it through with the 1/x's? Would the property tanh(x)sech(x) = -sech(x) + C still work?

I was also wondering about rewriting the whole equation as (2/e^1/x + e^-1/x)(e^1/x - e^-1/x /e^1/x - e^-1/x)(1/x^2). That seems overly complicated though and I'm not sure what form to go to from that point.

The other problem I'm having trouble with is integrating

cos^-3(2θ)sin(2θ)dθ

I know of ways of integrating sin and cos that have squares but is there a property I can use that's cubed and a double angel?

What do you mean by integrating all over x^2? I suppose you mean \int \text{sech}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\tanh\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\frac{1}{x^2}dx. If so use the substitution u=sech \left(\frac{1}{x}\right). For your second problem use the substitution u=\cos 2\theta

Yeah, that is what I meant and both make so much more sense to me now. Thanks!
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
