24.6.4 The Idea Behind Bisection

Core idea

Like a guessing game that takes the midpoint and cuts in half each time, you keep halving the interval holding a root to pin down the zero.

Module goal. Unify the roots of equations through a function lens, master the existence theorem for zeros and the bisection method, laying groundwork for continuity and approximation
