Homework Statement


Evaluate the integral, where E is the solid in the first octant that lies beneath the paraboloid z = 9 - x2 - y2.

∫∫∫(2(x^3+xy^2))dV

Homework Equations



x=rcosθ
y=rsinθ
x^2+y^2=r^2

The Attempt at a Solution



θ=0 to 2π, r=0 to 3, z=0 to (9-r^2)

2(x^3+xy^2)=2x(x^2+y^2)=2rcos(θ)(r^2)

∫0 to 2π ∫0 to 3 ∫0 to (9-r^2) (2rcos(θ)r^2)rdzdrdθ

I was wondering if my bounds were correct. And when I solved the integral I keep getting an answer of 0, which is incorrect. Can someone please help me with this problem?

If you're integrating over the first octant, then theta doesn't go from 0 to 2pi. Other than that, the rest is ok.
 
Thank you so much! That was the problem. I missed the part where it said the first octant.
 
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...
