Activity 14.2.

Suppose \(G = (V,E) \) is a graph. Decide the truth of the following statement.
Every pair of a subset \(V' \subseteq V \) and a subcollection \(E' \subseteq E \) defines a subgraph \(G' = (V',E') \) of \(G \text{.}\)

Activity 14.3.

Draw a graph where the nodes are students present in today’s class. Draw edges between pairs of students that are in the same group today. Additionally, draw an edge between a member of your group and another student if that pair was in a group together last class.

Activity 14.5.

Consider the website Facebook as a graph where vertices are profiles and edges represent β€œfriendship”.

(e)

Suppose the following graph is a subgraph of the Facebook graph.
A local friendship graph.

(i)

What is the largest party one of these people could throw where each party-goer is Facebook friends with every other party-goer? Justify your answer.

(ii)

Assume all of the people in this graph live in the same geographic area. Which pair of non-friends are most likely to become friends in the future? Which pair of non-friends are least likely to become friends in the future? Justify your answers.
