Answer the questions below and use the bisection method to find a number in [1,2] that approximates √13 with an error less than 1/16.
Define a polynomial function f(x) that has √13 as a zero. Check that for your function, f(1) and f(2) have different signs.
How many steps (including finding the final midpoint as the approximation) does it take to get within 1/16 of the solution?
After this number of steps, the approximation given by the bisection method is
