Consider the equation xex = cos x. (a) Find a interval [a, b] containing a root α. (b) Calculate the first three iterations c1, c2 and c3 of the bisection method by hand using a and b from part (a) and = 10−4. (c) What is the minimum number of iterations required to find α within an accuracy of 10−6

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
