Andy Long, Spring, 2024

Section 2.1, pp. 47--, #1, 2a-e, 4a-e, 7, 9, 13, 17, 26

The first problems (through 9) are solved in Octave:

The rest of the problems (13, 17, 26) are here:

The third: the signs of m and b are different, so that interval will be chosen.

At each iteration, the interval is cut in half: 3/2^n<=10^(-6). We can solve it, and then take the ceiling: 

2^n=3000000, so Ceiling[Log[3000000]/Log[2]]
n = 22

Ceiling[Log[3000000]/Log[2]]
