A school attendance clerk wants to determine if there is a relationship between the number of times a student arrives to school
late and the distance the student lives from the school. The clerk gathered data for the month of October and made the graph shown below.
Which statement BEST describes the data?
There is no clear relationship between the number of times students arrive late and the distances they live from school.
Students who arrived late more than six times live the shortest distances from the school.
Students who arrived late more than six times live more than one mile from the school.
Students who arrived late more than six times live the farthest distances from the school.

Answer:
(a) -3/4
(b) -0.75
(c) -0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a bit hard to tell what constitutes an "iteration" when using the bisection method to approximate a polynomial root. For the purpose here, we'll say one iteration consists of ...
- evaluating the function at the midpoint of the bracketing interval
- choosing a smaller bracketing interval
- identifying the x-value known to be closest to the solution
Thus, the result of the iteration consists of a bracketing interval and the choice of one of the interval's ends as the solution approximation.
__
(a) We observe that the graphs intersect in the interval (-1, 0). For the first iteration, we evaluate f(x)-g(x) at x=-1/2. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-1, -1/2). The x-value closest to the root is x=-1/2.
For the second iteration, we evaluate the function f(x)-g(x) at x=-3/4. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-1, -3/4). The x-value closest to the root is x=-3/4.
For the third iteration, we evaluate the function f(x)-g(x) at x=-7/8. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-7/8, -3/4). The x-value closest to the root is x=-3/4.
__
(b) The graph tells us the solution is approximately 0.7549. Rounded to 2 decimal places, the solution is approximately 0.75.
__
(c) The above solution found after 3 iterations rounded to 2 decimal places is exactly 0.75.
__
See the attached table for function values.

<em>Comment on bisection iteration</em>
Since you cut the interval containing the root in half with each iteration, you gain approximately one decimal place for each 3 iterations. When the function value is very nearly zero at one of the interval endpoints, it can take many more iterations to achieve a better result.
Here, it takes 4 more iterations before an x-value becomes closer to the solution (x≈-97/128). And it takes one more iteration to move the end of the interval away from -3/4. After these 5 more iterations (8 total), the solution is known to lie in the interval (-97/128, -193/256). The corresponding solution approximation is -193/256. It is still only correct to 2 decimal places.
