Calculate a real root of the following function using bisection method correct upto 3 significant figures. x2 - ex = 3
Calculate a real root of the following function using bisection method correct upto 3 significant figures. $x^2 - e^x = 3$ [5]
Equation: $x^2 - e^x = 3$ Rearranged as: $f(x) = x^2 - e^x - 3 = 0$ Required accuracy: 3 significant figures. --- $x$ $f(x) = x^2 - e^x - 3$ Sign --------- $-1$ $1 - 0.3679 - 3 = -2.368$ $-$ $-2$ $4 - 0.1353 - 3 = +0.865$ $+$ Sign change between $-2$ and $-1$, so a root lies in $[-2, -1]$. Let
