The conventional algorithm for evaluating a polynomial a n c 1 1 + a n - 1 c c 1 1 + cdots + a

The conventional algorithm for evaluating a polynomial anc11+an-1cc11+cdots+a1c+a0 at x=c can be expressed
in pseudocode by
procedure polynomial(c,a0,a1,dots,an real numbers)
power :=1
y:=a0
for i:=1 to n
power:= power*c
y:=y+ai** power
return y{y=ancn+an-1cn-1+cdots+a1c+a0}
where the final value of y is the value of the polynomial at x=c.
Exactly how many multiplications and additions are used to evaluate a polynomial of degree n at x=c?
Multiple Choice
2n multiplications and n additions
n multiplications and n additions
3n multiplications and 2n additions
n multiplications and 2n additions
