I really need help on this question!! I have been stuck for so long!!! Carry out three steps of the Bisection Method for f(x)=2^{x}-x^{4} as follows: (a) Show that f(x) has a zero in [1,2]. (b) Determine which subinterval, [1,1.5] or [1.5,2], contains a zero. (c) Determine which interval, [1,1.25], [1.25,1.5], [1.5,1.75], or [1.75, 2], contains a zero. In part (b), the interval with a zero is . In part (c), the interval with a zero is

A) SEE DO U KNOW INTERMEDIATE VALUE PROPERTY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do, it is if you have a function that is continuous on a closed interval and the function will go somewhere, then for every intermediate value "m" between f(a) and f(b) there exists at least one value (a,b) such that f(c)=m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now apply the same for all the parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thank you i did end up getting the right answer!
