Step 1
The chromatic number of K5 is 5, as all nodes are connected to each other and no two nodes share an edge. Show more…

Show that every planar graph $G$ can be colored using six or fewer colors. [Hint: Use mathematical induction on the number of vertices of the graph. Apply Corollary 2 of Section 10.7 to find a vertex $v$ with $\operatorname{deg}(v) \leq 5 .$ Con- sider the subgraph of $G$ obtained by deleting $v$ and all edges incident with it.]

Graph Coloring
Find the chromatic number of the graph G shown below. Give a coloring of G with χ(G) colors and prove that no proper coloring of G can use fewer colors. (The second copy illustrates how you can add colors to the diagram.)

Problem 3. Let G be a simple graph with at least 11 vertices, and let Ḡ be its complement. (i) Prove that G and Ḡ cannot both be planar. (ii) Find a graph G with 8 vertices such that G and Ḡ are both planar.
