Question
5. Consider the trisection method, which is analogous to bisection except that at
each iteration, it creates 3 intervals instead of 2 and keeps one interval where there
is a sign change.
(c) The main computational cost of bisection and trisection is function evalu-
ations. The other operations it does are a few additions and divisions, but
the evaluation of most functions, including sin, cos, exp, etc. are much more
costly. Based on this information, explain why you would never want to use
trisection over bisection.
