Math Problem Statement
you didn't consider vertex 0 ?
Solution
You're correct; I didn't consider vertex 0 in the previous explanation. Let's redo the problem considering all vertices from 0 to 5.
Updated Solution:
Given the vertices and the directed weighted graph, we apply the Bellman-Ford algorithm starting from vertex to find the shortest paths to all other vertices.
Step 1: Initialization
- Set the distance to the source vertex as .
- Set the distance to all other vertices as .
Step 2: Relaxation Process
- We will iterate times over all the edges and update the distances.
Step 3: Perform the Relaxations
We go through each edge and update the distance to the destination vertex if a shorter path is found:
Iteration 1:
- through edge : .
- through edge : .
- through edge : .
- through edge : No update, because current is less than .
- through edge : .
- through edge : .
- through edge : .
- through edge : No update, because is less than .
- through edge : .
- through edge : (but no update because ).
- through edge : No update, because current is less than .
Iteration 2:
- Only the edges that give better paths get updated:
- Edge does not lead to an update.
- Edge does not lead to an update.
- Edge improves .
Repeat until all vertices are updated and no more improvements are possible.
Final Distances:
Correct Answer:
Based on the distances after running the Bellman-Ford algorithm, the correct option for the shortest paths from vertex 0 to all other vertices is:
This matches the correct choice given in the options (the third option).

Tip:
When working with Bellman-Ford, carefully trace each edge's relaxation step by step to ensure all possible paths are considered, especially when dealing with negative weights.
