Homework Statement



Evaluate the integral below, where H is the solid hemisphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 ≤ 9, z ≤ 0

\iiint 8-x^2-y^2\,dx\,dy\,dz.

Homework Equations



none

The Attempt at a Solution



\int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} \int_{0}^{3} (8-2p^2 \sin^2{\phi}) p^2 \sin{\phi}\ ,dp\,d\phi\, d\theta

do I set up the integral right?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In polar coordinates x= \rho cos(\theta)sin(\phi) and y= \rho sin(\theta)sin(\phi) so
x^2+ y^2= \rho^2 cos^2(\theta) sin^2(\phi)+ \rho^2 sin^2(\theta) sin^2(\phi)
= \rho^2 sin^2(\phi)(cos^2(\theta)+ sin^2(\theta))= \rho^2 sin^2(\phi)
NOT "2\rho^2 sin^2(\phi).
 
ye! sorry. 8-p^2*sin^2(phi)

but if I use = \rho^2 sin^2(\phi) are the limit of this integral right for the question stated above.
 
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...
