    Can the number of edges determine isomorphism in graphs?

    Hi all, If I have to prove that the graph G and its complement G' are isomorphic, then is it enough to prove that both G and G' will have the same number of edges. Intuitively its clear to me, but how do I prove this. If there's a counterexample, please post. Thanks in advance.

    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.
