Homework Statement


Today i had a test on definite integrals which i failed. The test paper was given to us so we can practise at home and prepare better for the next one. This is the first problem which i need your help in solving::

Homework Equations


3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]
As no points were given for a solution of the below integrals without the proof of the integral property above i need to do that first. I had no idea how to start the proof. I figured i need to use some sort of substitution but i fail to see which and why. Could you give me a hint on how to do this? I know i haven't provided any work done by myself but i can't since i can't start. I didn't have a clue calculus was going to be this hard :/.
Thanks

The key here is that ##sin(x)## is symmetric around ##pi/2##. Hence the substitution ##t=pi/2+x## may be of use. You then see that a term in your new expression should disappear.

I think you probably meant something more like ##x=\pi-t##.

The substitution ##x = \pi - t ## does indeed do the trick for proving the proposition before solving the given integral.

Yeah i did it with the substitution you proposed but how did you arrive at it?
 
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...
