Homework Statement


Use Euler's formula to write the given expression in the form a + ib:

e^(2-(pi/2)i)


Homework Equations


Euler's formula: e^(it) = cos(t) + i*sin(t)


The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not sure how to get started on this one... am I supposed to get the expression into the e^(it) form somehow first?

Use the laws of exponentials to split it into e^2*e^(-i*pi/2) first. Now use Euler's formula on the second factor. The first one you know 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...
