Given a branching factor of 4 and a depth of 5 for a BFS, calculate the maximum number of nodes that can be explored.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for nodes in a tree structure.
If a path requires traversing 10 nodes with varying costs: 1, 1, 2, 1, 5, 1, 0, 2, 4, 3, discuss whether BFS is optimal in this scenario.
💡 Hint: Think about the role of cost in determining the best path.
