Find the minimum number of arithmetic operations required to evaluate below expression

f(P) = 8P^3 + 3P +12

Note - for a given value of P using only one temporary variable.
​

• 8P^3+3P+12
  =P(8(P^2)+3)+12
  Temporary variable is only one according to ques.
  lets, take T as temporary variable.
  T=p*p
  T=8T
  T=T+3
  T=p*T
  T=T+12
  Therefore 5 arithmetic operations are required.

• P = 1 given
  so,
  f(P) = 8P^3 + 3P + 12
  f(1) = 8*1^3 + 3*1 + 12
  f(1) = 23

• total 5
  T=8*p
  Y=T^3
  U=Y+3
  I=U*P

• p[(8p^2)+3]+12
  p[(8p(p)+3]+12
  so,total = 5

• F(p)=8P^3+3P+12
  =p(8p^2+3)+12
  =p(8(p)(p)+3)+12
  No of brackes=3 + no of '+'=2
  3+2=5
  5 is the answer

• Take P as common from first two terms
  P(8P^2 + 3) + 12
  P×(8×P×P + 3) + 12
  Total: 5 (3 multiplications and 2 additions have to be performed )
  Min =5 operations and max =6 operations if the expression is kept as it is without taking P as common element.
