Exercise 2.56: Show how to extend the basic
differentiator to handle more kinds of expressions. For instance, implement
the differentiation rule
d
(
u
n
)
d
x
=
n
u
n
1
d
u
d
x
by adding a new clause to the deriv program and defining appropriate
procedures exponentiation?, base, exponent, and
make-exponentiation. (You may use the symbol ** to denote
exponentiation.) Build in the rules that anything raised to the power 0 is 1
and anything raised to the power 1 is the thing itself.
