Question

Can so.eone explain to me by what bisecting intervals are?​

Answer 1

When you bisect something, you cut it into two equally sized pieces. (from Latin: "bi" = two, "sect" = cut)

Bisecting an interval creates two smaller intervals each with half the length of the original interval. Some examples:

• bisecting [0, 2] gives the intervals [0, 1] and [1, 2]

• bisecting [-1, 1] gives the intervals [-1, 0] and [0, 1]

• bisecting an arbitrary interval $[a,b]$ gives the intervals $\left[a,\frac{a+b}2\right]$ and $\left[\frac{a+b}2,b\right]$
