Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step1: find the interval of roots. Consider -3 and -2
[tex]f(-3) = -7 <0[/tex]
[tex]f(-2) = 18 >0[/tex]
Hence, the root must be on [-3,-2]
Step2: consider the middle point -2.5
[tex]f(-2.5) = 3.875 >0[/tex]
Then, the root must be on [-3, -2.5]
Step 3: Repeat step 2 by finding the value of f at the middle point -2.75
[tex]f(-2.75) = -1.0468 <0[/tex]
Step 3: Repeat step 2 by finding the value of f at the middle point of the interval [-2.75,-2.5] which is -2.625
[tex]f(-2.625) = 1.537 >0[/tex]
Step4: Repeat step 2 on [-2.75, -2.625]
Repeat step 2 until you got the root which is -2.701
