Question 1

Given a function f(x) = xΒ³ - x - 2, apply the Bisection Method in the interval [1, 2]. What is the estimated root?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Pay attention to whether the function values indicate a sign change.

Question 2

If both endpoints have the same sign, how would the Bisection Method fail to find a root? Provide an example.

πŸ’‘ Hint: What does that signify about the function's behavior between those points?
