Let G be a connected simple graph with n vertices and m edges. Prove that G contains at least m−n+ 1 different subgraphs which are polygons (=circuits). Note: Different polygons can have edges in common. For instance, a square with a diagonal edge has three different polygons (the square and two different triangles) even though every pair of polygons have at least one edge in common.

Suppose G is a simple, nonconnected graph with n vertices that is maximal with respect to these properties. That is, if you tried to make a larger graph in which G is a subgraph, this larger graph will lose at least one of the properties (a) simple, (b) nonconnected, or (c) has n vertices. What does being maximal with respect to these properties imply about G?G? That is, what further properties must GG possess because of this assumption? In this...
