Write a code (phyton) implementing the Trisection method, which is analogous to the Bisection method except that at each step, the interval is subdivided into 3 equal subintervals, instead of 2; then takes a subinterval where the function values at the endpoints are of opposite signs. (i) Is the Trisection method guaranteed to converge if for the initial interval [a, b], we have f(a)f(b) < 0? Why or why not? (ii) Starting with several different initial intervals, solve e^x = x^2 using the Trisection method to within 6 correct decimal places. Compare with the results obtained using the Bisection Method.
