Select the correct answer below:
The function f(x) is continuous.
The right limit exists. Therefore, the function is continuous.
The left limit exists. Therefore, the function is continuous.
The function f(x) is discontinuous.
We cannot tell if the function is continuous or discontinuous.
Solve this question and check if my answer provided is correct
T1.4: Let ẞ(G) be the minimum size of a vertex cover, a(G) be the maximum size of an
independent set and m(G) = |E(G)|.
(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The
neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least
one end in a vertex cover.
(ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you
may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.

Define a vector ♬ to be a column vector. Then, the following properties hold: • cu with c some constant, is equal to a new vector where every element in cv is equal to the corresponding element in & multiplied by c. For example, 2 2 = ● √₁ + √2 is equal to a new vector with elements equal to the elementwise addition of ₁ and 2. For example, 問 2+4-6 = The above properties form our definition for a linear combination of vectors. √3 is a linear combination of √₁ and √2 if √3 = a√₁ + b√2, where a and b are some constants. Oftentimes, we stack column vectors to form a matrix. Define the column rank of a matrix A to be equal to the maximal number of linearly independent columns in A. A set of columns is linearly independent if no column can be written as a linear combination of any other column(s) within the set. If all…arrow_forward
