Math Problem Statement

Draw a spanning tree based on the graph in Diagram 4. Calculate the shortest route from K to N using the commuter train.

Solution

The image contains a mathematical problem with a directed and weighted graph in minutes, as well as questions regarding the graph.

Here are the details from the image:

  1. Graph Description:
    The diagram represents a graph with four transit stations: KK, LL, MM, and NN. Edges between these stations are labeled with weights, which denote the time in minutes for transit. There is also a fixed transit stop time of 5 minutes at each station.

  2. Questions:

    • (a) Draw a spanning tree based on the graph.
    • (b) Emelda takes the commuter train from KK to NN. Calculate the shortest time route.

To Solve:

(a) Draw a Spanning Tree:

A spanning tree is a subgraph that connects all the vertices together without any cycles and with the minimum number of edges.

(b) Shortest Route Calculation:

Use the shortest path algorithm (e.g., Dijkstra's Algorithm) to calculate the route from KK to NN considering the weights of the edges.
