Context of the problem

In java language, the implementation is requested FROM ZERO, the bisection

method, which consists of finding the root, or solution, bisseces in an interval that
contains the root.

Its operation consists of only giving it a search interval that encapsulates the root
orsolution, the program will validate the interval within the function selected
by the user at the beginning and through a series of defined mathematical
processes, the result will be given at the end.

To choose the user has 3 functions, which are:

UN. f ( x )=2cos ( x 2)
 2 2
B. f ( x )=3 +7 x +5

C. f ( x )=x cos ( x)

Non-functional . Your code must implement the operations required for these calculations. You
requirements cannot make use of libraries that have implemented mathematical functions.

. The condition f(a) * f(b) < 0 must be fulfilled(This means: the product of that
function evaluated in the values a and b, must be less than 0, in other words it must
always be negativor )

. In order to calculate the value of C defined as: c = (a + b) /2 with which it is

validated that if f (a) × f (c) < 0 then b = c and if not a = c, the above is repeated
until one of the convergence criteria is met.

. Convergence criteria:

1. The total number of iterations of the bisection must be known, with an N

value.

2. It must be validated that the absolute value of | c i−ci−1 | < e where e is a

tolerance value (Also called epsilon)

3. |f ( c i )| < must be validated and

. Testing Options

. For this work we must use the approximate definition of the cosine function
 which is:

Only applies to magnitudes in radians.

Iidentifier and name RF0: Function Selection

The code will show on screen 3 different functions, The user must choose
one of the 3 functions, for that, he will be asked to enter a number from 1
to 3 ("1 for and 3 for
Summary f ( x )=2cos ( x2 ) , 2 para f ( x )=32 +7 x 2+5 f ( x )=x cos ( x) "). The
system must validate if the type of data entered, corresponds to the
function you want to select, if the data is not correct, an error message
will be displayed on the screen.

Entry name Data type Valid values condition

inputs The selected function

Function Int must be one of those

RF5: Bisection Method

Iidentifier and name

From the function that the user chose, the system must calculate the root or
solution of f(x). To prompt the user for a search interval that encapsulates
Summary the actual root of the function. If the entered range does not match the type
of data being requested, an error message must be sent. (one of the 3
convergence criteria must be selected)

Entry name Data type Valid values condition

inputs First interval(Must be a
