Bisection Method

★★☆☆☆Middle School

📖Definition

Bisection method is the simplest root-finding method for continuous functions. It halves the interval, narrowing toward sign changes.

📐Formulas

c = (a + b)/(2)

Midpoint calculation

if f(a)f(c) < 0: b = c, else a = c

Interval update rule

|xₙ - r| ≤ (b-a)/(2^n+1)

Error bound after n iterations

✏️Examples

예제 1
