Sketch the region bounded by the curves and visually estimate the location of the centroid. Then find the exact coordinates of the centroid.

y=1/x, y=0, x=1, x=2

what's your definition of the centroid?
 
I am thinking it is the center of mass.

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...
