(a) Complete the table.

(b) Use the table in part (a) to determine the interval in which the solution of the equation 3.2x ˆ’ 5.8 = 0 is located. Explain.
(c) Complete the table.

(d) Use the table in part (c) to determine the interval in which the solution of the equation 3.2x ˆ’ 5.8 = 0 is located. Explain how to use this procedure to approximate the solution to any desired degree of accuracy.
(e) Use the procedure in parts (a)-(d) to approximate the solution of the equation 0.3(x ˆ’ 1.5) ˆ’ 2 = 0, accurate to two decimal places.
