Show hintHide hint
What are the main stages we discussed?
3Question 3.
What is Kruskal's Algorithm used for?
- Finding shortest path
- Minimum spanning tree

Show hintHide hint
Consider what it means to connect all vertices with minimum weight.
4Question 4.
True or False: Kruskal's Algorithm can produce more than one minimum spanning tree for a given graph.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about edges with equal weights.
Question 5.
Create a graph with weighted edges and apply Kruskal’s Algorithm to find the minimum spanning tree. Describe each step taken.
Show hintHide hint
Use the weights as a guiding principle.
Question 6.
Compare the efficiency of Kruskal's Algorithm versus Prim's Algorithm in your own words; provide scenarios where each method shines.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the types of graphs you may encounter.
