Question 21
In an 8-puzzle game, which heuristic function is both admissible and consistent?
Manhattan distance never overestimates and changes by at most 1 per move ($c=1$), making it consistent.

If step costs are positive and bounded below by $\epsilon > 0, Uniform Cost Search$ is:
UCS is complete and optimal provided step costs are strictly positive and bounded away from zero.
For a game tree of depth m with branching factor b, standard Minimax without pruning evaluates how many terminal leaf nodes?
Minimax evaluates all leaf nodes at depth m, total $b^m$ leaves.
In Genetic Algorithms, the operator that combines parts of two parent chromosomes to produce offspring is:
Crossover blends genetic material from two selected parents to create new candidate solutions.
Which of the following statements regarding CONSISTENT heuristics are CORRECT?
