The function is in the interval
.
It follows that and
.
we can therefore apply intermediate value theorem to conclude that there
\must be some c in such that
Now we use bisection method for approximating the real zeros of a continuous function.
\In this approximation if , then the zero must lie in the interval
.

The approximated value of zero is ,
.
Now we have to find out zero value using graphical approach.
\From the above graph the zero value is nearly , it is located between
and
.
To find out the accurate value of value we further need to zoom the graphing utility as shown below.
\We clearly observe from the above graph the zero value is nearly .
The zero value approximated to two decimal points is .
The zero value approximated to four decimal points is .
