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.
