For the state space graph on the left, node (a) is the start state and node (z) is the goal state. An AI agent can only transition between states connected by an edge. Edges are labeled with the cost of traversing them. Nodes contain their label inside. A heuristic function value that estimates the cost to reach a goal from each node is provided in orange below the node. Not every search algorithm uses edge costs or heuristic values. Use them as necessary. What is the path returned by Greedy Best-First Search (GBFS)? Assume GBFS stops once the goal state (z) is expanded, and use alphabetical order to break ties in expansion priority. As part of your answer, list the nodes in the path returned by GBFS. The first node must be the start state (a) and the last node must be the goal state (z) (example: Final answer: [a, x1, x2, x3, z]). Please include partial calculations and/or explain your work for partial credit consideration.

What is the best current energy option for Florida to use for electricity generation, given the various pros and cons of every option? Choose one energy source and make an evidence-based case for it being the most effective and appropriate choice for Florida at the current moment, using what you have learned in this portion of the class. Your answer should be a well-constructed and organized essay of at least 250 words.   Grading Breakdown Identification of one appropriate energy source – 3 ptsEvidence-based case for chosen energy source’s fit for Florida – 15 ptsGrammar & Mechanics – 3 ptsAt least 250 words – 4 pts

The lecture material and videos introduced you to the variety of methods used for biodiversity conservation. Some focus on the protection of individual species, while others focus on the protection of ecosystems and landscapes. Imagine you have started your own conservation organization, and your mission is to conserve the Florida Scrub-Jay. These federally endangered bird species are found only in Florida’s oak scrub and scrubby Flatwoods. Using the below information about the Florida Scrub-Jay, combined with what you have learned in this module, write a well-constructed essay of at least 250 words explaining how you would use a combination of species- and landscape-level conservation approaches to fulfill your mission. As part of your answer, make a case for why it is valuable to practice BOTH species- and landscape-level conservation in this case.   Grading Breakdown: How you would use species-level conservation – 5 ptsHow you would use landscape-level conservation – 5 ptsEvidence-based case for why both strategies are needed – 5 ptsGrammar & mechanics – 5 ptsAt least 250 words – 5 pts
