Fоr the stаte spаce grаph оn the left, nоde (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. In which order the states of this graph will be expanded by Depth First Search (DFS)? Assume DFS stops once the goal state (z) is expanded, and use alphabetical order to break ties in expansion priority. As part of your answer, please include a list of expanded nodes in the order that they are expanded by DFS. 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.
