3. ENGS4 2004 Assignment 2 4.The “Game of Life” developed by John Conway is a state-space based process. For a game played on a 30 by 30 grid, how many different states are possible? How many of these states have an even number of occupied cells? 5.Show the execution of the Bellman-Ford Algorithm on the example network shown in Lecture 6 if a new node is added that is only connected to node A and the cost of reaching this node from A is 2. Show each step of the algorithm. 6.Now add a link from the new node in Problem 5 to node E with cost 1. Update the routing table using Bellman-Ford and show your work. 7.A T1 line that can be leased from the phone company can carry 1.5 Mbps. A normal phone conversation requires 64 kbps. How many phone calls can a T1 line carry?
