When the graphic skills were applied, in the example 1.1, am observed (see it represents
1.1) that f (xi) change of sign in both sides of the root. In general, if f (x) is real and
continuous in the xt interval to xu and f (xi) and f (xu) they have opposite signs; this is,
The methods of incremental search make use of this characteristic on having located an
interval where the function changes sign. Therefore, the location of the change of sign
(and hence, of the root), is achieved by more accuracy on having divided the interval in a
definite subíntralos quantity. Each of these subíntralos is traced to find the change of sign.
The process recurs and the approach to the root improves increasingly as the subintervals
split into smaller and smaller intervals.
The method of bisection, known also how of binary cut, of division in two equal intervals
or method Bolzano, is it a method of incremental search in which the interval always
splits into two. If the function changes sign on an interval, the value of the function is
evaluated in the average point.

The position of the root decides placing it in the average point of the subinterval inside
which a change of sign happens. The process recurs up to obtaining a better approach.
Next he explains a simple algorithm to himself to calculate the bisection, and in the figure
1.6 shows himself a sketch.
I happen l: Low xi and Superior chooses the initial values xu of such form that the
function changes of sign on the interval.
a) If f (xi) f (xu) <0, then the root is inside the subinterval. Therefore,
take xu = x,y 2 continues in the step.

b) If f (xi) f (xu)> 0; then the root is inside the top subinterval. Therefore, be solved xi = xr
and 2 be continued in the step.
I spend 4: If f (xi) f (xu) = 0, the root is equal to xr; it finishes the calculation.
