Question

The class is discrete mathematics. I am stuck on a question that wants me to "prove that for any graph G, either G is connected or G compliment is connected". I understand that "connected" means a walk from any one point on a graph to another, and I think the direction I should go is either prove a theorem about the set of edges or break it into cases.
