Math 3118 Practice Exam 3-1


1. True or False? A tree on 12 vertices cannot have a vertex of degree 14.

2. Find the tree on 8 vertices (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H) whose corresponding list is (F,G, A, F, B, A).

3. Let G be the graph whose vertices are labeled 1,2,3,4,5, and whose edges i-j cost |i-j|. This means that the edge from 2 to 5 costs 3. Find a minimum spanning tree for G.

4. How many labeled trees on 10 vertices have vertex A with degree 4?

5. How many rooted trees on 6 vertices are there?
