Homework Statement



Find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region enclosed by the following equations about the Y-AXIS.

y= e^(3x)+5
y=0
x=0
x= 1/2

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I keep getting the answer wrong. I broke the problem into two parts: solved a cylinder(disk) from y= 0 to 5 and solved a washer from y=5 to e^(3/2)+5

My answer was (1.25pi) (for cylinder or disk) + (.49811372pi) (for washer)

Where's your work? For the cylinder wouldn't x go from 0 to 1/2?
 
you're rotating around the y not x

Yes, so the cylinder elements are parallel to the y axis, sometimes called "dx elements". Your natural variable for that is x.

Maybe I misunderstand your terminology. Is what you call a cylinder what some texts call a shell?

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...
