[10 points] We use a computer to evaluate the rational function
f(x)=2x23x-15x37x2-4x8
at x=a0. Note that during one calculation a computer has memory and storage, for example, if a2=a*a has been calculated, it will have been put in storage and next time if a2 is needed for the same value of a, it is directly taken from the storage and there is no need to calculate it.
(1).[5 points] Count the number of the flops for evaluating the function, i.e., the number of operations such as "-", and needed to find the value of the function at x=a.
