Bisection Method κ·Non Linear Equation Introduction of Bisection Method The Bisection Method give a proof of a practical method to find roots of equations by “bi section”. Bisection Method is formulated based on prior theories and has been stated as “ f (x) be a continuous function on the interval [a, b]. If f (a) and f (b) have opposite signs, then there is an πΌ ∈ [a, b] such that f (πΌ) = 0 with a < πΌ < b”. There will be 3 possibilities from this equation : • If π π0 . π π₯0 < 0, the root lies in π0 and π₯0 • If π π0 . π π₯0 > 0, there is no root lies in π₯0 and π0 • If π(π₯0 ) = 0, we’re already done since π₯0 is the root of π π₯ . Root πΌ The value of πΌ can be approximation with midpoint equation of interval [a0 , b0] ; a0 + b 0 π₯π = 2 * assume that f (a) < 0, while f (b) > 0, the other case being handled similarly. ©First Group | Numeric Method | Mathematics Airlangga University 2019 The red line shows the interval [an, bn].
