Power reducing Identy:
cos^u = (1+Cos2u / 2)


The Attempt at a Solution


This is a problem that was done as an example (I know it is not complete it is missing the last integration step) but this is where I am getting stuck my question is where in this (3/2) coming from indicated in red in the image I cannot figure it out? thanks in advance.

There's a 1 on the left side of the integrand, and a 1/2 coming from the fraction on the right.

1 + 1/2 = 3/2...
 
stupid question the 1/2, does that not stay with the second equation why would you inocrporate it into the first also??
 
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...
