I love this guy, quick and crystal clear (if you don't get bisection after watching this vid, ur probably not made for math) :) But using Excel? Cmon people, write some code in a real programming language lol

Frank J assholes like you are the reason few people go into maths. My guess is that you yourself are bad at math which is why you fee the need to put others down. :)
In this example , first we find the midpoint(Xm) and then find the eqn of midpoint f(Xm) and f(Xl) and check for less than or greater than 0. Thats good but another method is only find eqn of f(Xm) and check for f(Xm)>0 or f(Xm)
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks so much for the video! I had lots of trouble understanding it from my teacher and studied the lecture notes for hours... Then I came here and learnt and fully understand it in 10minutes. THANKS SO MUCH!
@Luan Selimi if you do not have them, then use the physics of the problem to find the two guesses. If this is not possible, make sure that the two guesses bracket the root, that is, the function values at the two guesses are opposite in sign.
I do not understand the question. You can use Newton Raphson method for any equation that can be solved by bisection method until you can find f '(x), and it is finite.
sir, why your initial guesses are 1 and 4? according to which equations have you chosen these?? can we take 1 and 3 ? since 3^3 is greater than 20 again :-?
@TheManishchannel For example the value of f(1)=-19, f(4)=44. So if you would plot the function f(x) from x=1 to x=4, the function value is negative at x=1 and positive at x=4. So it changes sign as you plot it from x=1 to x=4. That means that the function has to cross the x-axis between x=1 and x=4. Click on the link at 0:20 of the video to follow the background.

thank you sooooo much... I got an exam tomorrow before watching your videos i didn't understand now i can go to the exam with confidence. thanks again :)
What happens if we aren't given an initial bracket? f(x) = x^6 − x − 1 = 0. "Use bisection method to find the largest real root α of this equation with 4 decimal place accuracy." I am not looking for the solution, I just want to provide some context. How would I find the X_l and X_u?
+Austin Oligario This equation could have 6, 4, 2 or 0 real roots. Unless, you plot the LHS of the equation, it would be hard to pinpoint largest real root, and hence a suitable XL and XU bracket.
I used a hand calculator, and I got the following roots for x^6-x-1=0 X1 = 1.134724138 X2 = 0.4510551586 + 1.002364572i X3 = 0.4510551586 - 1.002364572i X4 = -0.6293724285 - 0.735755953i X5 = -0.6293724285 + 0.735755953i X6 = -0.7780895987 So you can use the intervals [1, 1.5] and [-1,-0.5] to practice the bisection method. The complex roots could be found using Newton-Raphson method. Best regards from Venezuela. Carlos Vicente Dominguez
quick question, if f(a)f(b)>0 on the first try before getting into the iteration... would we conclude there aren't any roots on that interval? thank you
@327372 The concept is based on the fact that the maximum true error in the root at the end of an iteration is width of the new bracket. Keep in mind that the specified error Ead is the error, not the relative error. Do a google search on "Bisection Error Analysis" - the #1 result shows the proof!
Write the equation as f(x)=sin(x)-x=0 Check of f(xl) and f(xf) change sign. Then follow the same logic as the above example. Remember arguments of sin are in radians!
first of all thanks for all ur support. when desired accuracy exactly equals to functional value should i consider that the root or go for one more iteration????

@dheerujma Go to numericalmethods(.)eng(.)usf(.)edu and click on Keyword. Click on bisection method. You will see programs written in MTALAB, etc. Modify as needed!
Hi mister!I really apreciate your labour!It is really useful!What i wanna ask you is! After n iteration i should find the unique solution? sqrt of range 3 from 20? Thanks in advance for the answer!
There is a formula which can be used to determine the number of iterations. n=integer[ln(Xu-Xl)-ln(Ead)/ln2] Ead= specified error for stopping criterion which should be given. The concept is based on that the maximum true error in the root at the end of an iteration is width of the new bracket.

miguel juan adjudicator The equation most probably has complex roots then. You can use Mullers' method for that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muller%27s_method
The formula n=integer[ln(Xu-Xl)-ln(Ead)/ln2] is a little incorrect. It should be n=integer[(ln(Xu-Xl)-ln(Ead))/ln2]. Also, since Xu>Xl is not required, it should be n=integer[(ln|Xu-Xl|-ln(Ead))/ln2] =integer[ln(|Xu-Xl|/Ead)/ln2] - note the absolute value.
Hello Sir, Since we know that F(XL)0. Why do we have to form a check around F(XL)*F(XU)??.. Why not just check the sign of F(XM) if it is negative it becomes XM becomes XL if positive it becomes XU.
Prajwol Paneru You can choose a pre-specified tolerance. When the absolute relative approximate error is less than or equal to the pre-specified tolerance, you can stop. To see how this works and its relationship to see how many significant digits are correct in your answer, see page 5 and 6 of this document: mathforcollege.com/nm/mws/gen/01aae/mws_gen_aae_spe_measuringerror.pdf
You can use any lower and upper guess till the function changes sign. See the physical problems here under NONLINEAR EQUATIONS to see how the physics of the problem can help in deciding what the lower and upper guess should be. nm.mathforcollege.com/physical_problems_text.html
entertainment free You need to decide. You can say, for example, that I want at least 3 significant digits to be correct. Then you will continue iterations until absolute relative approximate error is less than 0.05%.
If f(a)*f(b)>0, it doesn't mean that between [a,b] there is no zero, because there can exist a x value, c (c is between a and b), which f(c)0. And I think you did that mistake in this video, am I wrong?
Well, what is said in the video is that if f(a)*f(b)>0, there is no guarantee of a root between a and b. A root may or may not exist. Yes, if f(a)*f(b)>0, roots are possible but cannot be guaranteed! This is what is said in the video -"okay, hey, there is xl, and there's your xu, and says, okay, you have two points now, xl and xu right here, and what is happening is that the function is not changing sign, because here the value of the function is positive, and the value of the function here is positive, but you're getting two roots . . . you're getting two roots between xl and xu in spite of the function not changing sign. That is not a violation of the theorem which we just discussed. The reason why this is not a violation of the theorem which we just discussed is because the theorem only tells you if the function is changing sign. It's not . . . it does not tell you anything about if the function is not changing sign, whether there are going to be any roots between the two limits or not. So that's one thing which you've got to understand is that the theorem's only telling you if the function is changing sign, that you are going to get at least one root. If the function is not changing sign, as is the case here, then there may or may not be roots between those two points."
It is just an initial guess of the bracket. You have to check that it is a valid one first though! Many a times, the physics of the problem helps to come up with a better initial guess of the bracket. See the example at this site: mathforcollege.com/nm/mws/gen/03nle/mws_gen_nle_txt_bisection.pdf
