Here, f(x)=x2 -6 logx-3=0
f(2)=4-6 log2-3=-0.806
f(3)=9-6 log3-3=3.1373
f(2).f(3)=-0.806*3.1373=-2.529422 which is negative.
Hence, the root lies between 2 and 3
c0 =(2+3)/2=2.5
f(2.5)=6.25-6 log 2.5-3=0.8623
Now
| n | a(-ve) | b(+ve) | cn | f(cn) |
| 0 | 2 | 3 | 2.5 | 0.8623 |
| 1 | 2 | 2.5 | 2.25 | -0.050595 |
| 2 | 2.25 | 2.5 | 2.375 | 0.38664 |
| 3 | 2.25 | 2.375 | 2.3125 | 0.1631658 |
| 4 | 2.25 | 2.3125 | 2.28125 | 0.05506 |
| 5 | 2.25 | 2.28125 | 2.265625 | 0.001925 |
From the table,
f(2.265625)=0.001928<10-2

Matter is anything that possesses mass, occupies space and may be perceived through one or more senses.
The physical divisions of matter are:
1. Solid : Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around.
2. Liquid : Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can...
