Solved Discrete Math Name Unit 5 Day 4 Worksheet Euler | Chegg.com - Free Printable

Thank you for uploading the worksheet. Since I can’t see images directly, I’ll solve this based on standard textbook problems that match your description: “Euler Circuits, Paths, and Eulerization” — specifically, graphs that need to be eulerized (i.e., made to have an Euler circuit by adding the fewest possible edges), and then finding actual Euler circuits or paths.

I’ll assume the graphs are standard ones from discrete math curricula. Here’s how to solve each part:

---

## 🔑 Key Concepts:

- Euler Circuit: A path that starts and ends at the same vertex and traverses every edge exactly once.
- ✔ Exists if and only if all vertices have even degree.
- Euler Path: A path that starts and ends at different vertices and traverses every edge exactly once.
- ✔ Exists if and only if exactly two vertices have odd degree.
- Eulerization: Adding duplicate edges (not new vertices) to make all vertices even-degree → creates an Euler circuit.
- Goal: Add the minimum number of edges to pair up odd-degree vertices.

# 🧩 PART 1: Eulerize Each Graph (Add Fewest Edges)

We’ll analyze each graph by counting degrees of vertices.

---

Graph 1

*(Assumed structure: a pentagon with diagonals + one dangling edge)*

Let’s count degrees:
- Most internal vertices: degree 4 or 5
- One vertex has degree 1 (dangling edge)
- Likely 4 vertices of odd degree (common in such diagrams)

✔ Odd-degree vertices: 4 → need to add 2 edges to pair them up.

How?
- Pair the 4 odd-degree vertices into 2 pairs.
- Add edges along existing paths (duplicate edges) between them.

👉 *Example solution*: Add edges between two pairs of odd-degree vertices using shortest paths (often adjacent or connected via existing edges).

---

Graph 2

*(Two triangles sharing a vertex, plus extra connections — common "butterfly" shape)*

Degrees:
- Central vertex: high degree (maybe 6)
- Others: likely 3 or 4

Count odd-degree vertices:
- Often 4 odd-degree vertices.

✔ Add 2 edges to connect pairs of odd-degree vertices.

👉 *Strategy*: Duplicate edges that already exist between odd-degree vertices to minimize added length.

---

Graph 3

*(Circle with inscribed X-like shape — maybe 8 vertices total)*

This is often symmetric. Let’s assume:
- All outer circle vertices: degree 3
- Inner cross vertices: degree 4 or 5

Likely 4 or 6 odd-degree vertices.

If 4 odd-degree → add 2 edges.

If 6 odd-degree → add 3 edges.

✔ Best guess: 4 odd-degree vertices → add 2 edges.

👉 Add edges across the “X” or along the circle to pair odds.

---

Graph 4

*(Two rectangles connected by crossing lines — like a bowtie or hourglass)*

Typical structure:
- Left rectangle: 4 vertices
- Right rectangle: 4 vertices
- Cross edges connect them

Degrees:
- Corner vertices: degree 3
- Middle connecting vertices: degree 4 or 5

Likely 4 odd-degree vertices.

✔ Add 2 edges — perhaps duplicate the crossing edges or connect opposite corners.

---

Graph 5

*(Rectangular prism / 3D box — 8 vertices, 12 edges)*

In a cube:
- All vertices have degree 3 → ALL 8 vertices are odd-degree!

✔ Need to add 4 edges (since 8/2 = 4 pairs).

👉 Strategy: Duplicate 4 edges to make all degrees even. For example:
- Duplicate 4 parallel edges (e.g., top front, top back, bottom front, bottom back).
- Or duplicate edges forming a matching set.

---

# 🧩 PART 2: Find an Euler Circuit or Path

Now, assuming we’ve eulerized the graphs (or they already have Euler circuits/paths), we find one.

---

Graph 6

*(Complex graph: outer diamond, inner diamond, connected — maybe 8–10 vertices)*

First, check degrees:
- If all even → Euler circuit exists.
- If exactly two odd → Euler path.

Assume after checking, it has all even degrees.

✔ Find an Euler circuit:

Start anywhere, traverse edges without repeating, return to start.

Labeling edges: Assign letters A, B, C… as you traverse.

👉 Example path (hypothetical):

Start at top vertex → go down left → cross to right → down → back up → etc.

Since I can’t see the exact graph, here’s a general algorithm:

> Use Fleury’s Algorithm:
> - Start at any vertex.
> - At each step, choose an edge that is not a bridge (unless no other choice).
> - Never use an edge twice.
> - End where you started.

---

Graph 7

*(Three squares side-by-side with diagonals — very dense graph)*

This graph likely has many even-degree vertices, possibly all even.

✔ Euler circuit exists.

Start at bottom-left corner.

Example traversal (simplified):

A → B → C → D → E → F → G → H → I → J → K → L → M → N → O → P → A

(You’d label actual edges as you go.)

👉 Tip: Look for symmetry. Traverse each square, then cross over.

# 📝 How to Present Your Answer

For each graph:

1. Circle the odd-degree vertices (if any).
2. Draw dashed lines for the added edges (in red or different color).
3. Write the number of edges added.
4. For #6 and #7:
- Trace a path with arrows or numbers.
- Label edges with letters or numbers as you traverse.

## 💡 Pro Tip for Students:

> In Eulerization, always try to add edges along existing paths — don’t create new connections unless necessary. The goal is to duplicate existing edges to minimize “extra travel.”

---

If you can describe any specific graph (e.g., “Graph 1 has 6 vertices, one hanging off”), I can give you the exact edges to add and the exact Euler circuit path.

Otherwise, this is the best solution based on standard curriculum problems.

Let me know if you want me to generate a labeled diagram or walk through one graph in detail!
