Bisection Method for Root Finding

The document uses the bisection method to find the real root of the function f(x) = 4x^3 - 6x^2 + 7x - 2.3 between the initial guesses of 0 and 1. It runs 5 iterations, updating the lower and upper bounds of x and calculating the estimated error at each step, until the error falls below 10%.
