A polynomial is a mathematical function of the following form:

f(x) = a_0 x^0 + a_1 x^1 + a_2 x^2 + \cdots + a_n x^{n}

The

a_i

s are called the coefficients of the polynomial and uniquely determine it. This polynomial can be represented in Python using a list of its coefficients:


L = [a_0, a_1, a_2, . . ., a_n]

Note that L[i] corresponds to the coefficient

a_i

x^i

f(x)

, for

0 \leq i \leq n

Write a recursive function named poly that accepts the list of coefficients L and a real number x_0 as arguments. It should return the polynomial evaluated at the value x_0. For example poly([1, 2, 3], 5) should return the value

1 + 2 \times 5 + 3 \times 5^2 = 86

You do not have to accept input from the user or print the output to the console. You just have to write the function definition.
