Explanation By definition of minimum spanning tree, the sum of weights of the edges is the smallest. The other chosen quantities for weights were quantity of petrol and number of students. The travelling amongst the four cities is a connected path which requires to be covered quickly with the less utilization of petrol or diesel in a car. However, the minimum spanning tree is not suitable as there will be the double travelling on the edges to cover the whole graph...

(b) Let I[y] be a functional of y(x) defined by [[y] = √(x²y' + 2xyy' + 2xy + y²) dr, subject to boundary conditions y(0) = 0, y(1) = 1. State the Euler-Lagrange equation for finding extreme values of I [y] for this prob- lem. Explain why the function y(x) = x is an extremal, and for this function, show that I = 2. Without doing further calculations, give the values of I for the functions y(x) = x² and y(x) = x³.
