The Bisection Method Suppose that f(x) is a continuous function that changes sign on the interval [a;b]. Then, by the Intermediate Value Theorem, f(x) = 0 for some x2[a;b]. How can we nd the solution, knowing that it lies in this interval? The method of bisection attempts to reduce the size of the interval in which a solution is known to exist.
