A First Course In Numerical Methods

1. Apply the bisection routine bisect to find the root of the function f(x)= JX-1.1 starting from the interval [0,2] (that is, a 0 and b 2), with atol-Le-8. (a) How many iterations are required? Does the iteration count match the expectations, based on our convergence analysis? (b) What is the resulting absolute error? Could this absolute error be predicted by our con vergence analysis
