Efficiency Evaluation using the monomial form of a degree-n polynomial requires at most n additions and (n 2 + n)/2 multiplications, if powers are calculated by repeated multiplication and each monomial is evaluated individually.
This assumes that the polynomial is evaluated in monomial form and no preconditioning of the representation is allowed, which makes sense if the polynomial is evaluated only once.
