The Secant Method - USM
www.math.usm.eduThe 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.

Bisection Method of Solving Nonlinear Equations: General ...
mathforcollege.comBisection method . Since the method is based on finding the root between two points, the method falls under the category of bracketing methods. Since the root is bracketed between two points, x and x u, one can find the mid-point, x m between x and x u. This gives us two new intervals 1. x and x m, and 2. x m and x u.
