The complement of a graph G is a new graph formed by removing all the edges of G and replacing them by all possible edges that are not in G. Formally, consider a graph G = (V, E). Then, the complement of the graph G is the graph G = (V, E), where 2. E = {{x, y}|x y, {x,y} ¢ E} Prove that for any graph G, G or G (or both) must be connected.

Question
2. The complement of a graph \( G \) is a new graph formed by removing all the edges of \( G \) and replacing them by all possible edges that are not in \( G \). Formally, consider a graph \( G = (V, E) \). Then, the complement of the graph \( G \) is the graph \( \overline{G} = (V, \overline{E}) \), where

\[
\overline{E} = \{\{x, y\} \mid x \neq y, \{x, y\} \notin E \}
\]

Prove that for any graph \( G \), \( G \) or \( \overline{G} \) (or both) must be connected.
