Chapter 5.7, Problem 5.6PP
Practice Problem 5.6 (solution page 575)
Let us continue exploring ways to evaluate polynomials, as described in Practice Problem 5 5. We can reduce the number of multiplications in evaluating a polynomial by applying Horner’s method, named after British mathematician William G. Horner (1786-1837). The idea is to repeatedly factor out the powers of x to get the following evaluation:
a0+x(a1+x(a2+···x(an-1+xan)···)) (5.3)
Using Horner's method, we can implement polynomial evaluation using the following code:
- A. For degree n, how many additions and how many multiplications does this code perform?
- B. On our reference machine, with the arithmetic operations having the latencies shown in Figure 5.12, we measure the CPE for this function to be 8.00. Explain how this CPE arises based on the data dependencies formed between iterations due to the operations implementing line 7 of the function.
- C. Explain how the function shown in Practice Problem 5.5 can run faster, even though it requires more operations.

(10 points) The Towers of Hanoi is a famous problem for studying recursion in computer science and searching in artificial intelligence. We start with N discs of varying sizes on a peg (stacked in order according to size), and two empty pegs. We are allowed to move a disc from one peg to another, but we are never allowed to move a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. The goal is to move all the discs to the rightmost peg (see figure). To solve the problem by using search methods, we need first formulate the problem. Supposing there are K pegs and N disk. Answer the following questions. (1) Determine a state representation for this problem. (4points) (2) What is the size of the state space?
