Experiment (3) Bisection Method in MATLAB: Objective: Equipment: 3. Background

This document describes an experiment using the bisection method in MATLAB to find the roots of nonlinear equations. It provides the background on the bisection method and outlines the procedure to create a script file to apply the method to equations like x^3 + 4x^2 - 10 and x^3 - 6x^2 + 10x - 4. The results show the root estimates converge after iterations between the initial intervals. Discussion questions ask to consider applying the method to tan(x) on (0,3) and the equation exp(x) - 3x^2.

5. Discussion
1. Consider f(x) = tan(x) on the interval (0,3). Use the 20 iterations of the bisection method and see what
happens. Explain the results that you obtained.
2. Write a program to find the roots of the following equation using bisection method:
F(x) = exp (x) - 3 x 2
