Mathematics: A Practical Odyssey
- Social Network 4. A group of friends is represented by the graph given below. An edge connecting two names means that the two friends have spoken to each other in the last month. a. have John and Stacy talked to each other in the last week? b. How many of the friends in this group has Steve talked to in the last week? c. Among this group of friends, who has talked to the most people in the last week? d. Why would it not make sense for this graph to contain a loop? Michael John Steve Erin Stacy Adaarrow_forwardGiven the figure below. Redraw again the figure to determine the shortest path using The Edge – Picking Algorithm/Cheapest Link Methodarrow_forward17. Determine how many components the graph has, and explain why does it have that number. Marrow_forward
- How many edges will you have in a complete graph made of 40 vertices? Show all steps of your calculation.arrow_forwardGraph the following.arrow_forwardA floor plan of a museum is shown. Draw a graph that represents the floor plan, where each vertex represents a room and an edge connects two vertices if there is a doorway between the two rooms. Is it possible to walk through the museum and pass through each doorway without going through any doorway twice? Does it depend on whether you return to the room you started at? Justify your conclusion.arrow_forward
- Given the figure below. Redraw again the figure to determine the shortest path using Greedy Algorithm/Nearest Neighborarrow_forward4. Suppose the city of Königsberg had the arrangement of islands and bridges pictured on the left instead of the arrangement that we introduced previously. Represent the map as graph. Would the citizens be able to complete a stroll across each bridge and return to their starting points without crossing the same bridge twice? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions below by selecting the best answer. Which of the following is NOT a circuit in the graph? * B.
