What does it mean the bisection method
The bisection method in mathematics is a root-finding method
that repeatedly bisects an interval and then selects a subinterval
in which a root must lie for further processing. It is a very
simple and robust method, but it is also relatively slow. Because
of this, it is often used to obtain a rough approximation to a
solution which is then used as a starting point for more rapidly
converging methods. The method is also called the interval
halving method, the binary search method, or the dichotomy
method.]
The method
The method is applicable for numerically solving the equation
f(x) = 0 for the real variable x, where f is a continuous function
defined on an interval [a, b] and where f(a) and f(b) have
opposite signs.
In this case a and b are said to bracket a root since, by the
intermediate value theorem, the continuous function f must
have at least one root in the interval (a, b).
As you see in this picture
f(x) continue in [a,b]
f(a)f(b)<0
so their is the equation
f(x)=0
“Bisection method is the simplest among all the numerical schemes to solve the transcendental equations..”

1-Example theorie
Suppose that the bisection method is used to find root of the polynomial

F(x)=x^3-x-2

first, two numbers a,b have to found such that f(a) and f(b) have
opposite signs, for the above function a=1,b=2 satisfy the criterion, as

f(1)=(1)^3-(1)-2=-2
f(2)=(2)^3-(2)-2=4

because the function is continues, there must be a root within the interval [1,2]

in the first iteration, the end points of interval which brackets the root are

a1=1 and b1=2 so the midpoint is c1=(2+1)/2=1.5

The function value at the midpoint is f(c1)=(1.5)^3-(1.5)-2=1.25 Because f(c1) is

negative, a=1 is replaced with a=1.5 for the next iteration to ensure that f(a) and f(b)
have opposite signs. As this continues, the interval between a and b will become
increasingly smaller, converging on the root of the function. See this happen in the table
below.
