Math Problem Statement

What is the degree of vertex E in the given graph?

Solution

To determine the degree of vertex EE in the graph shown in the image:

The degree of a vertex in a graph is the number of edges connected to it.

From the graph:

  • Vertex EE is connected to DD, FF, and CC.

Thus, the degree of vertex EE is 3.

Here are 5 related questions for exploration:

  1. What is the degree of vertex DD in this graph?
  2. How do we classify graphs based on degrees of vertices (e.g., regular graphs)?
  3. Can the sum of all vertex degrees in a graph indicate the number of edges?
  4. What is the difference between an undirected and a directed graph in terms of vertex degrees?
  5. How does the concept of degree apply in weighted graphs?

Tip: Remember, in undirected graphs, each edge contributes 1 to the degree of each connected vertex.
