Computers In Math
1114 Words - 5 Pages.... It is frequently necessary to evaluate an expression, such as the one
below, for several values of x.

First to start with developing the power's of x to perform the
necessary multiplications by the coefficients, and finally produce the sum.
The following steps are the way the computer "thinks" when it is
calculating the equation.
1.Select x
2.Multiply x by x and store x2
3.Multiply x2 by x and store x3
4.Multiply x3 by x and store x4
5.Multiply x by 6 and store 6x
6.Multiply stored x2 by 5 and store 5x2
7.Multiply stored x3 by 4 and store 4x3
8.Multiply stored x4 by 6 and store 6x4 ....
