Intermediate value theorem

By using intermediate value theorem

(a) show that there exist at least a root for
the equation f ( x) = x - cos x in interval
[0,1].
(b) determine whether there exist a
solution for y1 = 4 x and y2 = e over the
2 x

interval [-1,0] .

Bisection method
(a) Use bisection method to find root of
f ( x ) = x 2 - 5 in interval [-2.5, -1.5].
(b) Given the function f ( x) = x and
g ( x ) = 2sin x .
(i) Sketch the graph of these function.
(ii) Find a suitable interval [a, b] which
that contain the first positive root of
x = 2sin x . Check using intermediate
value theorem.
(iii)Hence, approximate the root by
using bisection method. (1.895)

(c) Given the function f ( x ) = sin 2 x + x - 3.
