Question

a0 +a1x1.....a2017*x^2017 how many values of x are needed to find the values of coefficients

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a2, a3,..., an is the function p(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x 2 + a3 ∗ x 3 +... + an ∗ x n This function can be evaluated at different values of x. For example, if p(x) = 1 + 2x+ x 2, then p(2) = 1 + 2 ∗ 2 + 22 = 9. If p(x) = 1 + x 2 + x 4, then p(2) = 21 and p(3) = 91. Write a function poly() that takes as input a list of coefficients a0, a1, a2, a3,..., an of a polynomial p(x) and a value x. The function will return p(x), which is the value of the polynomial
