A programmer notices the following two procedures in a library. The procedures do similar, but not identical,
things.

Procedure square (n) returns the value n2

Procedure cube (n) returns the value n3

Which of the following procedures is a generalization of the procedures described above?
A. Procedure Add (n, m), which returns the value n + m
B. Procedure Fourth (n), which returns the value n4
C. Procedure Polynomial(n), which returns the value n3 +n2
D. Procedure Power (n, m), which returns the value nm

Answer:

D. Procedure Power (n, m), which returns the value n^m

Explanation:

Given

[tex]square(n) \to n^2[/tex]

[tex]cube(n) \to n^3[/tex]

Required

The generalization

The given functions are power functions which returns the power of n to a certain value.

The power sequence follows:

[tex]fourth(n) \to n^4[/tex]

[tex]fifth(n) \to n^5[/tex]

[tex]sixth(n) \to n^6[/tex]

-----

--

[tex]power(n,m) \to n^m[/tex]

Hence, (d) is correct
