Homework Statement


[/B]
I've tried to search this up but to no avail. How am I suppose to solve this:

d2y/dx3

Homework Equations


N/A

The Attempt at a Solution



Here's what I think I need to do:

1: Square and cube y and x respectively.
2: Find the second and third derivative of y and x respectively.

Thank you.

This looks like a typo, I think you need to ask your teacher what they want here or of course you could compute the ##d^2y/dx^2## and the ##d^3y/dx^3##

The superscripts aren't powers and these aren't fractions of differentials.

The notation means:
- 2nd derivative of y with respect to x for ##d^2y/dx^2## and
- 3rd derivative of y with respect to x for ##d^3y/dx^3##

Check to see if your book has an errata sheet online which would indicate whether its a typo that is if this came from your book otherwise check with your teacher.

Human error on my behalf. I mistype it. But yeah, thank you. I'm self-teaching (as scary enough as it is, ha ha) so no teacher besides myself

So basically it means to take the second (or nth) derivative? Thank you. .
 
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...
