Consider the given curves to do the following.
x = 3 + (y-2)**2, x = 4
Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the x-axis.


V = ??

****************

I set up the problem like this...

V = integral from 0 to 3((4-(y^2-4y+7))(y + 1) dy)


(height) (radius) ...of "shell"

Did I set this up right? Hopefully this is clear enough, if you can't understand I can clarify. Thanks for the help in advance!

What does "(y-2)**2" mean? Did you mean (y-2)^2?
 
yes, sorry, it copy-pasted like that
 
never mind, i solved it finally
 
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...
