Mathematical Expressions:

Algorithm: A well-defined set of finite instructions designed to accomplish a specific task.
- Example: Baking cookies involves following a structured series of steps in a precise order.
- Another example: In the morning, tasks such as putting on clothes and eating breakfast are executed in a particular sequence.
- In essence, an algorithm represents an ordered process that systematically leads to a desired outcome.
Sequencing: Ensuring tasks are executed in a strict, predefined order.
Selection: After completing an initial step, a decision is made (yes/no or true/false), which dictates the next action—if a condition holds true, one path is followed, otherwise, an alternative action is taken.
Iteration: Repeatedly performing a sequence of steps based on a condition.
- Example: Complete the first step, proceed to the next, evaluate a condition, and if necessary, continue repeating the steps.
Methods for representing algorithms:
- Flowchart: Uses arrows and shapes to visually represent decisions and the flow of steps.
- Pseudocode: A simplified, high-level representation of an algorithm, often written in plain language or comments to describe each section’s functionality without using formal code syntax. </span>

Example 1

Scenario: You’re in the middle of a geometry test and need to graph the function ( f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 + 5 ), but you’re unsure how to start. By inputting a range of x-values, you can quickly compute the corresponding y-values, helping you plot the points and accurately sketch the graph. With this approach, you’ll confidently ace the graphing question and boost your test score!

# List of x-coordinates to be plugged into the equation to get the corresponding y-values
x_values = [2, 5, 7, 10]

# Loop to iterate through the list of x-coordinates
for x in x_values:
    # Calculate the corresponding y-values using the equation f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 + 5
    y = 2 * (x - 3) ** 2 + 5
    # Print the result for each x-coordinate
    print(f"f({x}) = {y}")

f(2) = 7
f(5) = 13
f(7) = 37
f(10) = 103
