Homework Statement



Find function f(x) and constant a such that,

6 + integral f(t)/t^2 dt = 2x limits of integral are a...x




Homework Equations


I am not quite sure how to approach this problem? What area of a calculus text would this type of problem be in?

Thanks in advance!


The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
What are the limits of integration?
 
the limits are, a to x
 
if f(t) = 2 t^2, it seems you'll get the answer
 
You want to get f(t) out of the integral so you can solve for it, and to get rid of integrals you differentiate. You'll need to use the fundamental theorem of calculus.
 
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...
