Polynomial Operations
You are given two polynomials P1(x) and P2(x) represented by their coefficients in increasing order of powers of x. That is, a polynomial P(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x2 + \dots + anxn is given by the list of coefficients [a0, a1, ..., an].
Your task is to implement a Polynomial
class (or equivalent in your language of choice) with the following operations:
- Addition: P(x) + Q(x)
- Subtraction: P(x) - Q(x)
- Multiplication: P(x) \times Q(x)
- Evaluation: Compute P(x) at a given value of x.
- String Representation: Convert the polynomial into a human-readable string where nonzero terms are shown in the form:
- For the constant term: "a"
- For x1: "ax"
- For higher powers: "axk"
The input will give you the coefficients for two polynomials and an evaluation point. You are required to:
- Construct the two polynomials P1 and P2 from the given coefficients.
- Compute P1 + P2, P1 - P2, and P1 \times P2.
- Evaluate both P1 and P2 at the given point.
- Print the string representations of P1, P2, their sum, difference, product, and the evaluations. </p>
n1
is the number of coefficients of the first polynomial P1.- The next line contains
n1
integers representing the coefficients of P1 in increasing order of powers. n2
is the number of coefficients of the second polynomial P2.- The following line contains
n2
integers for P2. x
is the evaluation point.
Note: When displaying formulas, use LaTeX for mathematical notation. For example, the polynomial should be represented as \(a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + \dots + a_nx^n\).
inputFormat
The input is read from standard input (stdin) and has the following format:

outputFormat
Print the following information to standard output (stdout), each on a new line:
p1: {P1_string} p2: {P2_string} p1 + p2: {sum_string} p1 - p2: {diff_string} p1 * p2: {prod_string} p1 evaluated at x={x}: {P1_value} p2 evaluated at x={x}: {P2_value}
Where {P1_string}
, {P2_string}
, etc. are the string representations and computed values of the respective polynomials.
