Bisection Method Explained with Example

The bisection method uses the fact that if a continuous function f has different signs at two endpoints a and b of an interval, then f must have a zero somewhere within the interval. It works by repeatedly bisecting the interval and narrowing in on a zero by eliminating half of the interval where f does not change sign at each step.

Example on bisection method

• an interval [a, b] must contain a zero of a


continuous function f if the product f(a) f(b)
0. Geometrically, this means that if f(a)
f(b) 0, then the curve f has to cross the x-
axis at some point in between a and b.
