Iteration count on the bisection method: We learnt that the bisection method is a kind of bracketing method to estimate the roots of an equation. Each iteration involved reducing the interval in which the root lies. How many iterations, n, will be required to attain an accuracy of 10-a starting from an interval      [xl, xu]

Write out a general formula for n in terms of a, xl, and xu.

Use this formulae to estimate n for these specific cases:

(a) a = 3 and [xl, xu] = [0, 1]

(b) a = 4 and [xl, xu] = [0, 1]

(c) a = 5 and [xl, xu] = [0, 1]
