Transcribed Image Text:### Applying the Sorted Edges Algorithm
#### Graph Explanation
The image shows a weighted graph with four vertices labeled \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\). The edges connecting these vertices have the following weights:
- Edge \(A - C\): 1
- Edge \(A - D\): 5
- Edge \(A - B\): 10
- Edge \(C - D\): 14
- Edge \(C - B\): 6
- Edge \(D - B\): 15
#### Problem Statement
**Task**: Apply the sorted edges algorithm to the graph above. Find the total cost of the resulting circuit.
### Steps Using the Sorted Edges Algorithm
1. **List the Edges in Order of Increasing Weight**:
- \(A - C\): 1
- \(A - D\): 5
- \(C - B\): 6
- \(A - B\): 10
- \(C - D\): 14
- \(D - B\): 15
2. **Select Edges to Form a Circuit**:
The sorted edges algorithm involves selecting edges in order of increasing weight, ensuring that no cycles are formed until all vertices are connected.
- Select edge \(A - C\) (Weight 1)
- Select edge \(A - D\) (Weight 5)
- Select edge \(C - B\) (Weight 6)
At this point, we have connected all vertices: \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\). Note that selecting the edge \(A - B\) would form a cycle.
#### Total Cost Calculation
The selected edges are:
- \(A - C\) (Weight 1)
- \(A - D\) (Weight 5)
- \(C - B\) (Weight 6)
**Total Cost** = 1 + 5 + 6 = 12
Therefore, the total cost of the resulting circuit is **12**.
