Function: y=xsinx Interval: [ 0 ; π ] Requirements: Draw the graphical form of the function. Show the coordinate axes (x and y). Choose the scale yourself and show it in the flowchart. Create a flowchart based on the algorithm. Write the program code in Python. Additional requirements: Each stage must be clearly shown in the flowchart. The program must plot the graph and save it in PNG format. Write the code in a modular way (functions and main section should be separate). Expected results: The graph of y=xsinx will be plotted in the interval [ 0 ; π ]. The algorithm and flowchart will be understandable and complete. When you test the code, a graph file in PNG format will be created.

A company specializing in lubrication products for vintage motors produce two blended oils, Smaza and Nefkov. They make a profit of K5,000.00 per litre of Smaza and K4,000.00 per litre of Nefkov. A litre of Smaza requires 0.4 litres of heavy oil and 0.6 litres of light oil. A litre of Nefkov requires 0.8 litres of heavy oil and 0.2 litres of light oil. The company has 100 litres of heavy oil and 80 litres of light oil. How many litres of each product should they make to maximize profits and what level of profit will they obtain? Show all your workings.
