A simple graph has 9 edges, 3 vertices of degree 4 and all others of degree 2. How many vertices does the graph have?
A simple graph has 9 edges, 3 vertices of degree 4 and all others of degree 2. How many vertices does the graph have?
FORMULA
TOTAL OF VERTICES × DEGREE= 2 × EDGES
Let total vertices= x
3×4+(x-3)2= 2×9
12+2x-6= 18
x=(18-12+6)/2
ANSWER IS 6
