Jul 12, 2021 · Definitions: Graph, Vertex, and Edge. A graph \(G\) consists of two sets: \(V\), whose elements are referred to as the vertices of \(G\) (the singular of vertices is vertex); and \(E\), whose elements are unordered pairs from \(V\) (i.e., \(E ⊆ \{\{v_1, v_2\} | v_1, v_2 ∈ V \}\)). The elements of \(E\) are referred to as the edges of \(G\).
The dots are called vertices; an individual dot is a vertex, which is one object of a set of objects, some of which may be connected. We often label vertices with letters. For example, Graph G has vertices a, b, c, and d, and Multigraph H has vertices, e, f, g, and h. Each line segment or connection joining two vertices is referred to as an edge.
Try to graph y=x² (|a| =1) and then y=2x² (|a| > 1) and y=(1/2)x² ( |a| < 1) you will what I mean about skinny and fat parabola. About the vertex, the vertex is determined by (x-h)² and k. The x value that makes x-h=0 will be the x-coordinate of the vertex. K will be the y-coordinate of the vertex. y=-10(x+4)²-3

Learning Outcomes. Identify the vertices, edges, and loops of a graph. Identify the degree of a vertex. Identify and draw both a path and a circuit through a graph. Determine whether a graph is connected or disconnected. Find the shortest path through a graph using Dijkstra’s Algorithm.
Check out this video. Example 1: Vertex form. Graph the equation. y = − 2 ( x + 5) 2 + 4. This equation is in vertex form. y = a ( x − h) 2 + k. This form reveals the vertex, ( h, k) , which in our case is ( − 5, 4) . It also reveals whether the parabola opens up or down. Since a = − 2 , the parabola opens downward.

In discrete mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a vertex (plural vertices) or node is the fundamental unit of which graphs are formed: an undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of edges (unordered pairs of vertices), while a directed graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of arcs (ordered pairs of ...
