Homework Statement
##7 \sinh x + 3 \cosh x = 9##
Relevant Equations
hyperbolic trig. equations
My question is on the highlighted part (circled in red);

Why is it wrong to pre-multiply each term by ##e^x##? to realize ,

##5e^{2x} -2-9e^x=0## as opposed to factorising by ##e^{-x} ## ?

The other steps to required solution ##x=\ln 2## is quite clear and straightforward to me.

What makes you think you cannot?
 
...because of this next step:

I think i get it now...to find the solution for ##x##, we can solve it as i had indicated but for the integration bit; we have to make use of all the transforms...

That solves an entirely different question than the one you asked. The one you asked about asked for the solutions of a particular equality. What that thing is is integrating 1 divided by one of the sides of the equality.
 
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...
