Algebra.Com's Answer #784188 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "Multiple edges (or parallel edges) are two or more edges that directly connect two vertices. \n" ); document.write( "I can't find anywhere, in the little bit of literature I have seen, an example of how the term \"multiple edges\" is used in relation to the vertices. \n" ); document.write( "If, for example, there are two edges connecting vertex A and vertex B, can you say that vertex A has multiple edges? And can you say that vertex B has multiple edges? Or is it necessary to include BOTH vertices in the statement, to say that vertices A AND B have multiple edges? \n" ); document.write( "It would seem to me to be appropriate that saying a single vertex has multiple edges is not correct; in naming vertices that \"have multiple edges\", it should be necessary to name the vertices in pairs. \n" ); document.write( "In the given graph, vertices A and E are directly connected by two different edges. Those edges are parallel edges, or multiple edges, by definition. So vertex A and vertex E have multiple edges. \n" ); document.write( "So answer A is correct. \n" ); document.write( "In the given graph, vertices B and C are directly connected by three different edges. Those edges are parallel edges, or multiple edges, by definition. So vertex B and vertex C have multiple edges. \n" ); document.write( "So answer D is correct. \n" ); document.write( "If it is correct to say that a single vertex has multiple edges, then vertices A, B, C, and E all do. And that would make answer B correct -- although incomplete. \n" ); document.write( "So it seems to me that answers A and D are both correct, and answer B is partially correct. \n" ); document.write( "And so, if the question is supposed to have a single correct answer, then I have no idea which it is. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
