In this problem consider the bisection method.
(a)
Write a PYTHON function computing an approximation of the root x* of the equation
f(x) 0 in the interval [a, b] using the Bisection method. For stopping criterion use the
following: If n+1 − xn| ≤ TOL for the first time, then return än+1 as approximation of the
root x*. Allow the code to do only NMAX iterations.
(b)
Test your code by finding an approximate solution to the equation log(x) + x = 0 in
the interval [0.1, 1].](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F01b4eff1-1c92-4d86-9563-264f29556131%2F85ed8a30-486b-43a9-8464-b1d029ee4176%2F1tlw98h_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
