Homework Statement


Find the mass of the solid bounded by the cylinder x^2+y^2=2x and the cone z^2=x^2+y^2 if the density is \delta = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

[b2. The attempt at a solution[/b]
I had some trouble looking at how to set up the limits on this integral. What I came up with was:
2 \int_0^2 \int_0^{\sqrt{2x^2+2x}} \int_0^{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \sqrt{x^2+y^2} dzdydx
= 2 \int_0^2 x^2\sqrt{x^2+y^2} + ((\sqrt{x^2+y^2})^3)/3 dx
And this is just an ugly integral. I tried doing it in cylindrical coordinates but it wasn't working out terribly well that way either. Any hints? Thanks!

Nevermind, I got an answer. Can anyone confirm 6\pi?
 
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...
