Clearly it is true for n=2, since a tree having 2 vertices have both the vertices of degree one.
Let it be true for n =k, i.e. a tree having k vertices have atleast two vertices of degree one.
Now, for n =k+1, we have to add one more vertex to tree having k vertices.
Case 1: if we add (k+1)th vertex to a vertex having degree one then (k+1)th vertex will have degree one and we will end up having atleast two vertices of degree one.
Case 2: if we add (k+1)th vertex to any vertex having degree not equal two one, then we already have atleast 2 vertices of degree one( since statement is true for n=k).
Therefore, it is true for n=k+1, and hence by principle of mathematical induction, every tree having vertices greater than or equal to two vertices will have atleast two vertices of degree one.
Use induction on n... 5. Use induction on n to prove that any tree on n2 2 vertices has at least two vertices of degree 1 (a vertex of degree 1 is called a leaf). 5. Use induction on n to prove t...
Prove that a tree with at least two vertices must have at least one vertex of odd degree.
Prove by induction that a tree with at least two vertices has at least two leaves. Thank you!
A tree with a vertex of degree k ≥ 1 has at least k vertices of degree 1.
Prove that in any tree with n vertices, the number of nodes with degree 8 or more is at most (n − 1)/4.
(2) Recall the following fact: In any planar graph, there exists a vertex whose degree is s 5 Use this fact to prove the six-color theorem: for any planar graph there exists a coloring with six colors, i.e. an assignment of six given colors (e.g. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) to the vertices such that any two vertices connected by an edge have different colors. (Hint: use induction, and in the inductive step remove some verter and all edges...

Recall the definition of the degree of a vertex in a graph. a) Suppose a graph has 7 vertices, each of degree 2 or 3. Is the graph necessarily connected ? b) Now the graph has 7 vertices, each degree 3 or 4. Is it necessarily connected? My professor gave an example in class. He said triangle and a square are graph which are not connected yet each vertex has degree 2. (Paul Zeitz, The Art and Craft of Problem...
