Exercise 1.40. Define a procedure cubic that can be used together with the newtons-method procedure in expressions of the form
(newtons-method (cubic a b c) 1)
to approximate zeros of the cubic x3 + ax2 + bx + c.
(define (cubic a b c) (lambda (x) (+ (cube x) (* a (square x)) (* b x) c))) (define (cube x) (* x x x)) (newtons-method (cubic a b c) 1)
