Evaluate by changing to cylindrical coordinates

\int from 0 to 1 \int from 0 to (1-y^2)^1/2 \int from (x^2+y^2) to (x^2+y^2)^1/2 (xyz) dzdxdy

I came to an answer of integral from 0 to pi integral from 0 to 1 integral from r^2 to r (rcos\thetarsin\thetaz) r dzdrd\theta
Is this the correct answer?

Hello Caliguy. Click on the expression below to see how to post it so it is readable in tex:

\int_0^1 \int_0^{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\int_{x^2+y^2}^{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}xyz\ dzdxdy

This looks like a first octant integral. Check your \theta limits.
 
To me they seem right, doesn't theta go from zero to pi? after graphing it it looks like a half a circle... maybe I'm overlooking something?
 
Neither x nor y get negative in your original integrals.
 
So theta only goes from 0 to pi/2 right?

Yes.
 
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...
