1. The bisection method of finding roots of nonlinear equations falls under the category of a
2. If for a real continuous function f (x) , f (a) f (b) < 0 , then in the range of [a,b] for f (x)
= 0, there is (are)
(A) one root (B) an undeterminable number of roots (C) no root (D) at least one root
4. The Newton-Raphson method for finding the root for finding the root of an equation
f ( x ) 0 is
