Prove that there is no graph with five vertices whose degrees are equal to 4, 4, 4, 4, 2.

Prove that there exists a graph with 2n vertices whose degrees are \(1, 1, 2, 2, \dots , n, n\).

a) they have 10 vertices, the degree of each of which is equal to 9?

b) they have 8 vertices, the degree of each of which is equal to 3?

c) are they connected, without cycles and contain 6 edges?

Prove that a graph, in which every two vertices are connected by exactly one simple path, is a tree.

Prove that, in a tree, every two vertices are connected by exactly one simple path.

Prove that there is a vertex in the tree from which exactly one edge emerges (such a vertex is called a hanging top).

In a graph, all the vertices have degree of 3. Prove that there is a cycle in it.

There are seven lakes in some country, connected by ten non-overlapping canals, and each lake can be reached from any other. How many islands are there in this country?

On the plane 100 circles are given, which make up a connected figure (that is, not falling apart into pieces). Prove that this figure can be drawn without taking the pencil off of the paper and going over any line twice.
