Theory : the Bisection method is one of the simplest and most reliable of iterative methods for the solution of nonlinear
equations . This method ,also known as binary chopping or half-interval method , relies on the fact that if f(x) is real and
continuous in the interval a<x<b , and f(a) and f(b) are of opposite signs , that is ,
f(a)f(b)<0
Then there is at least one real root between a and b . There may be more than one root in the interval .
Let ,
Let us also define another point to be the middle point between a and b , that is ,

Now the next smaller interval which brackets the root can be obtained by checking
Selecting C by the above expression is called Regula-Falsi method or False position method .
