1. The conventional algorithm for evaluating a polynomial a„x“ +an-1x"
at x = c can be expressed in pseudocode by
procedure polynomial(c, ao, a1, ..., a,: real numbers)
power := 1
y := ao
for i := 1 to n
power := power *c
у:3Dу+а; * power
return y{y = anc" + an-1c"
п-1
+ ... + aịc + ao}
where the final value of y is the value of the polynomial at x = c.
a) Evaluate 3x +x+1 at x = 2 by working through each step of the algorithm showing
the values assigned at each assignment step.
