The equation is .
The interval is .
Therefore the solution is in the interval
.
Divide the interval into
equal subintervals:
Find the value of at each end point until the intermediate value theorem applies.
.
Stop here and conclude that the value of zero is in between and
.
Divide the interval into equal subintervals and proceed to
evaluate at each end point.
Stop here and conclude that zero lies between and
and
correct to two decimal places the zero is .
The value of is
