Exercise 1.36: Modify fixed-point so that
it prints the sequence of approximations it generates, using the newline
and display primitives shown in Exercise 1.22. Then find a
solution to
x
x
=
1000
by finding a fixed point of
x
log
(
1000
)
/
log
(
x
)
. (Use Scheme’s primitive log
procedure, which computes natural logarithms.) Compare the number of steps
this takes with and without average damping. (Note that you cannot start
fixed-point with a guess of 1, as this would cause division by
log
(
1
)
=
0
.)
