Use Exercise43 to show that a simple graph with n vertices and it connected components has at most (n - k)(n - k+1)/2edges. [Hint: First show that
where niis the number of vertices in the ith connected component.]

- I want this to be considered as a Advanced Math question pls. . Consider a graph G which is a complete bipartite graph. The graph G is defined as K(3,4), meaning it has two sets of vertices, with 3 vertices in one set and 4 in the other. Every vertex in one set is connected to every vertex in the other set, but there are no connections within a set. Calculate the number of edges in graph G. Also, determine if the graph G contains an Euler path or circuit, and justify your answer.arrow_forwardI only need an answer for part b.arrow_forwardUse the Handshaking Lemma to show that a graph G always has an even number of vertices with odd degrees.arrow_forward
