Find the exact value of http://forums.cramster.com/Answer-Board/Image/cramster-equation-20051129112586326885897811250007777.gif where http://forums.cramster.com/Answer-Board/Image/cramster-equation-20051129110356326885883583125005816.gif and C is the line segment from (1,2,1) to (6,4,5).
i, j, k are unit vectors
So far all i have done is drawn in the line segment on a 3D graph.. Look at the URLS for the integral and the F(x,y,z)

\int_C\mathbf{F}\cdot d\mathbf{r}

\mathbf{F}=\left<x^4e^y,\,\ln{z},\,\sqrt{y^2+z^2}\right>

\mathbf{r}=\left<1+5t,\,2+2t,\,1+4t\right>;\quad 0\leq t \leq 1

Can you figure it out from here?

OK i worked off of what you got and i got

But this integral looks VERY hard to solve

A few hints:
For the first term, use integration-by-parts, and for the third term, complete the square in the form: K\sqrt{(t+a)^{2}+b}, where K,a,b are appropriate constants. Dependent upon the sign of b, we may write b=\pm{c}^{2} where c is some constant.

See if you manage to make the last few steps on your own..

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...
