Homework Statement



A hole in the ground in the shape of an inverted cone is 19 meters deep and has radius at the top of 16 meters. The cone is filled to the top with sawdust. The density of the sawdust depends upon the depth, x, following the formula ρ(x) = 2.1 + 1.2e^(-1.2x) kg/m^3. Find the total mass of sawdust in the conical hole.

Homework Equations



mass = density * volume

So I'm just confused as to how to set up my integral?

I want to find the def. ∫ density*volume from 0 to 9

Using the relationship I posted above ^^^

radius of cone = 16m
height of cone = 19m
s = (16/19)(19-x)
So my integral would be...

Anyone? D:
 
*** Figured it out. all you had to do was square the constant (16/19) as well.
 
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...
