xL, xR Values between which the root is known to lie.
n Degree of the polynomial. •
C(0..n) Coefficients of the polynomial (see below). •
tol Tolerance for (final) x interval. •
Show values Shows the coordinates of the graph. •
  Applies the bisection procedure to find a root of a non-linear equation, a polynomial, y = Σi=0n ci xn−i (= 0).
  In this method, the values xL and xR must bracket the root.
  A graph is made for the curve.
  This example is mostly to make the method available.
