The equation is
.
The interval is
.
Therefore the solution
is in the interval
.
Divide the interval
into
equal subintervals:
Find the value of
at each end point until the intermediate value theorem applies.
.









Stop here and conclude that the value of zero is in between
and
.
Divide the interval
into equal subintervals and proceed to
evaluate
at each end point.



Stop here and conclude that zero lies between
and
and
correct to two decimal places the zero is
.
The value of
is
.
