GRAPHIC

METHODS
The graphical method is used to find
an interval where the function f (x) has
one or more roots.
EXAMPLE

The function F (x) = sin (x)-e^x has a root. To


calculate the root of F(x) , we do F (x) = 0,
where sin (x) = ex. Therefore, the problem is
finding the intersection point of the
functions g (x) = sin (x) and h (x) = ex. From
which we conclude that the interval at which
is the only root is [-4, -3].
