Write the prime factorization of 540 using the factor tree method.

Prove that no integer is both even and odd using proof by contradiction.

Prove that (AB)(BA)=(A - B) \cap (B - A) = \emptyset.

Prove that if n2n^2 is even, then nn is even using a proof by contrapositive.

Prove that in every tree, the number of edges is equal to the number of vertices minus one.

Given graphs T_1 and T_2, where the number of edges in T_1 is 17, and the number of vertices in T_2 is 2 times the number of vertices in T_1, find V_1 and E_2.

(Note: E_1 = 17, V_1 = E_1 + 1, V_2 = 2 \times V_1, E_2 = V_2 - 1)

Is it possible to have a graph where the number of vertices is equal to the number of edges plus one, but the graph is not a tree?

A graph T is a tree if and only if between every pair of distinct vertices of T there's a unique path.

A graph F is a forest if and only if between any pair of vertices in F there is at most one path.

Any tree with at least two vertices has at least two vertices of degree one.

Let T be a tree with V vertices and E edges. Then, E (the number of edges) is equal to V (the number of vertices) minus one.
