Homework Statement



sketch and find the area : y=X^3, Y=X, X>/ 0

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I'm getting pi(1/10)
but the right answer is 4pi/21 so can anyone explain to me what am doing wrong? thankx

I figured out what you did wrong.

You need to find the volume on Y = X and Y = X^3 and subtract one from the other.

So you know A = pi * y^2.

V = (pi)Integral(0,1) y^2 dx

So for Y = X you get V = (pi) * 1/3
for Y = X^3 you get V = (pi)* 1/7

Subtract volume 2 from volume 1 you get

V_Final = (pi) (1/3 - 1/7) = (pi) 4/21.

thank you, so i found that my mistake was not setting up the problem, it was the LCD. thanks a lot.
 
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...
