4. All graphs in this question are finite and simple. (a) If I is a tree with at least 2 vertices, show that x(T) = 2. (b) Determine x(Cn, k), the number of k colourings of the cycle Cn with n vertices, for n> 3. In parts (c) and (d) below, G is a graph such that x(G) > x(G - v) for all v € V(G). That is, for any v E V(G) the graph G-v has a colouring with less colours than G does. (c) Show that G is connected. (d) Show that dc(v) > x(G) – 1 for all v € V(G), that is, all vertices of G have degree at least X(G) - 1.
