Bisection
Applies the bisection procedure to find a root of a polynomial.
|
|
|
| xL,
xR |
|
Values between which the root is known to lie. |
| n |
|
Degree of the polynomial. • |
| C(0..n) |
|
Coefficients of the polynomial (see below). • |
| tol |
|
Tolerance for (final) x interval. • |
| Show values |
|
Shows the coordinates of the graph. • |
Applies the bisection procedure
to find a root of a non-linear equation, a polynomial, y =
Σi=0n
ci xn−i (= 0).
In this method, the values xL and
xR must bracket the root.
A graph is made for the curve.
This example is mostly to make the method available. |
