TopicMinimum Spanning Trees

3
    1. State the number of edges in a minimum spanning tree for a network with 10 vertices.
    2. State the number of edges in a minimum spanning tree for a network with \(n\) vertices.
  1. The following network has 10 vertices: \(A , B , \ldots , J\). The number on each edge represents the distance between a pair of adjacent vertices.
