he basic idea of the method of bisection is to start with an initial interval, [a0,b0], that is chosen so that f(a0)f(b0) < 0. (This guarantees that there is at least one root of the function f(x) within the initial interval.) We then iteratively bisect the interval, generating a sequence of intervals [ak,bk] that is guaranteed to converge to a solution to f(x) = 0.
