[SOLVED] Inverse Functions

What is the area of the largest triangle in the first quadrant with 2 sides on the axes and third side tangent to the curve y=e^-x
 
Physics news on Phys.org
just take any value of x and find the equation of the tangent line at that point, and see where it hits the x and y axes. then write a formula for that area, and maximize the formula by taking derivatives. hmmmmm... i think i got 2/e what did you get??
 
yea i got it
thanks

delete now please
 
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...
