1. The graph below represents five cities and the routes between them. An out-of-state road inspector is asked to fly into Pottsville (P). From Pottsville, the inspector must inspect each road on the map, making only one trip along each road, and then fly out of Tinkertown (T).

these are the graphs

Thank you, give me a minute and i'll get you the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you sooo much

Okay, so is the question asking you if its possible ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are three parts to the question a.) Will the road inspector be able to complete the inspection as described? Mathematically explain why or why not and, if such an inspection is possible, describe the route. b.) The inspector would prefer to fly into and out of the same town, but still drive each road only once. Would that be possible? Mathematically explain why or why not and, if such an inspection is possible, describe the route. c.) Below, the map has been expanded to show additional cities and routes. A trucker who lives in Jonesboro (J) needs to make deliveries in each town and then return home without passing through any of the towns more than once. What type of mathematical circuit is the trucker hoping to use? If the trucker THIS IS WHAT IT IS ASKING ME^^^

OpenStudy (dan815):

the first one is clearly possible, the 2nd one, thinking there is a graph theory theorem to this, that euler showed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay there are 2 graphs and they are posted at the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you are asking if I can pass on each line 1 time then no

OpenStudy (dan815):

right theres some important reason that we can apply to any number of points and lines between points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so is that like the concept of these problems?

OpenStudy (dan815):

right look at this simpler example
