Homework Statement


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

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

Homework Equations


I think I am on the right track could someone check this?

The Attempt at a Solution


if x = a then the integral will = 0,
6 = 2a, a = 3 limits now are 3 to x,
now,
6 + integral f(x)/x^2 dx = 2x, fundamental theorem
6 + f(x)/x^2 = 2 => 6 + f(x)= 2x^2 => f(x)= 2x^2 - 6
Thanks!

try to take the derivative of both sides and see what happens?
on your last line, when you took the derivative, you missed something. what is the derivative of 6?
 
Ok thanks that was the part I was not sure about so the derivative of 6 goes to 0.
Thanks!
 
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...
