Use the 'halving the interval' method to show that one root of the question x3+2x-8=0 is approximately 1.67

Thanks

u just test for x=1, then test x=2, then u find out thers a root between
test x=1.5 and see wich one its between, then u test 1.75 or 1.25 depending on the region of the root, but in this case it will be x=1.75
