Volume generated[Solved]

Use polar coordinates to find the volume of the given solid enclosed by the hyperboloid -x2-y2+z2=1 and the plane z=2.

I wrote out the integral \int\int 1+r^2 dr d\vartheta integrated from 0 to 2\pi and r integrated from 0 to sqrt3 and volume enclosed gotten to be 15\pi/2. So this is the volume enclosed by the hyperboloid and the xy-plane correct? So I wanted to use the volume of the cyclinder to subtract off the volume found previously. But the volume is 6\pi so if I subtract i would get negative volume?

It looks like you are integrating z^2 instead of z. Also shouldn't there be an extra r in the integral?

ie. \int\int z*r dr d\vartheta whereas it looks like you are doing \int\int z^2 dr d\vartheta
 
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...
