An automorphism of a graph G is a function f:G→G such that f(xy)=f(x)f(y) for all x, y∈G. A vertex-transitive graph is a graph G such that there is an automorphism between any two vertices of G. An edge-transitive graph is a graph G such that there is an automorphism between any two edges of G.

1. Prove that the Petersen graph is vertex-transitive.
2. Prove that the Petersen graph is edge-transitive.
