+For your convenience reading online, the questions for HW2 are listed below.
 -------
 **Problem 1.** Write a Julia function ''bisectsearch'' that take a function $f(x)$ and an interval $a,b$ such that $f(a) f(b) < 0$, returns a root $r$ of $f$ within that interval. Find the root to as many digits accuracy as possible.

-** Bonus problem 7.** Consider $f(x) = (1-3/(4x))^1/3$. What is the root $r$ of this function? What happenes when you apply your Newton-method algorithm to this function with a starting guess $x_0 = 1$? Why?
