    Help with Graphs: Understanding v(t), v(x) and v(a)

    hey, I am not too great at physics, and i know this is going to seem like a relatively elementary question. when in class we learned about graphs, i never fully grasped the concepts of v(t), v(x), and v(a) graphs, such as how they all correlate to each other, and forming them. I am worried that...

    Can a graph with no triangles have more than (n^2)/4 edges?

    [b]1. Prove that a graph with n vertices that has no triangles has at most (n^2)/4 edges. [b]2. [b]3. Um so i was thinking maybe you start off with a complete graph and then keep deleting edges so as to remove the triangles within it or something? Or maybe by induction?

    Intercepts and Graphs: Understanding the Use of 'OR' in Sketching Y=(x-2)(x-3)

    Alright let's says for example we were to sketch y=(x-2)(x-3). You would find x intercepts and you would write it as x-2=0 OR x-3=0, thus x=2 OR x=3. Why do we use the word OR when we use both of the intercepts to sketch the graph anyway? Why cannot we use AND instead.
