Question

Problem 2 (Dijkstra's Algorithm) (30 Points): Let T be a tree constructed by Dijkstra's algorithm in the process of solving the single-source shortest-paths problem for a weighted connected graph G. a. True or false: T is a spanning tree of G? b. True or false: T is a minimum spanning tree of G? Hints: If a statement is true, please use a proof method to prove it is true; if a statement is false, please provide a counter example.
