Homework Statement



\int^{1}_{0}\int^{x^2}_{0}\int^{y}_{0} f(x,y,z) dz dy dx

Find 5 equivalent iterated integrals.

Homework Equations



0 ≤ z ≤ y

0 ≤ y ≤ x^2

0 ≤ x ≤ 1

The Attempt at a Solution



1) \int^{1}_{0}\int^{√y}_{0}\int^{x^2}_{0} f(x,y,z) dz dx dy

I will try dz dy dx first.

Because y = x^2, so 0 ≤ z ≤ x^2

Because y = x^2, so 0 ≤ x ≤ √y

And by the same logic, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1

When I integrate for f(x,y,z) = 1, the correct answer is 1/10. I do not get the same answer with my solution. Help! Is it possible to solve this without graphing it? Or is it necessary to get the correct answer?

Here is an error. For each x, y goes from 0 to x^2. If you graph that region in an xy-plane, it is below and to the right of the graph of y= x^2. That means that, for each y, x goes from \sqrt{y} up to 1. The y-integral is \int_{x^2}^1 dy

Looking at this, I realize now that I made that mistake in the previous post. I have edited it.

And by the same logic, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1

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...
