The diagram below shows an undirected graph G: a b f e d C (a) Show the coloring produced by the greedy algorithm when the vertices are colored in the following order: b, d, e, a, c, f. (b) Give a coloring of the graph that uses the fewest number of colors possible.

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.)

(A): Consider the complete graph Kn, where n ≥ 1. In how many ways can we color the vertices of the graph when provided with k different colors, where k ≥ n, such that each vertex has a different color than its adjacent vertices? (Not all k colors have to be used in a coloring of the graph.)
