MATLAB Code For Bisection Method

The document describes the bisection method for finding the root of a nonlinear function. It defines the function f(x), initializes the interval [a,b], and iterates by choosing the midpoint c between a and b. It evaluates f(c) and either replaces the upper b or lower a bound based on the sign of f(c). It iterates until the function value at c is less than the tolerance or the maximum number of iterations is reached. It then prints the iteration number, root sequence, and function values.
