Question

Please write a code in MATLAB by using the BISECTION METHOD to solve the problem below. Thank you!

Example 1
You are making a bookshelf to carry books that range from 8½" to 11" in height and would
take up 29" of space along the length. The material is wood having a Young's Modulus of
3.667 Msi, thickness of 3/8" and width of 12". You want to find the maximum vertical
deflection of the bookshelf. The vertical deflection of the shelf is given by
v(x) = 0.42493×10x³ -0.13533×10x³ -0.66722×10x¹ -0.018507x
where x is the position along the length of the beam. Hence to find the maximum deflection
dv
we need to find where f(x)== = 0 and conduct the second derivative test.

Books
Bookshelf
Figure 1 A loaded bookshelf.
The equation that gives the position x where the deflection is maximum is given by
-0.67665x10x¹ -0.26689×10x³ +0.12748x10x² -0.018507 = 0
Use the bisection method of finding roots of equations to find the position x where the
deflection is maximum. Conduct three iterations to estimate the root of the above equation.
Find the absolute relative approximate error at the end of each iteration and the number of
significant digits at least correct at the end of each iteration.
