# creation a table from a default module [closed]

I have used of bisection method for finding the root of a function:

bisect[f_, {x1_, x2_, \[Epsilon]_}] :=
Module[
{low = Min[x1, x2], high = Max[x1, x2], mid = N[(x1 + x2)/2],
fmid = N[f[(x1 + x2)/2]]},
While[Abs[fmid] > \[Epsilon],
If[fmid < 0, low = mid, high = mid];
mid = N[(low + high)/2];
fmid = N[f[mid]]];
mid]


If we have f[x_]:=x^2-10 we will face to

f[x_] := x^2 - 10
bisect[f, {0, 4, 0.0001}]
N[%]
3.16229


But finally I want to create a table with functions and their roots in a such a way that the variable of the table be y. Of course with the guarantee in which x1 and x2 are chosen to satisfying the bisection condition for boundary condition for each function.

Table[bisect[x^(2y) - 10 y, {0, 50, 0.01}], {y, 1, 5}]


The first function in table with y=1 will be similar as above, I mean x^2-10, and other functions in the same way. But it doesn't work correctly. Also, if f in the bisect variables in the first lines defined with two variables x,y, but it doesn't work again.

• First of all, you are not returning anything from the Module. Add ;mid before the last ]. Secondly, x^(2 y) - 10 y is an expression, and Mathematica does not interpret this as a function. Replace this expression with #^(2 y) - 10 y&. With these two replacements everything should work. – march Jul 4 '15 at 13:24
• Yes, it works very well. Thanks a bunch. – Unbelievable Jul 4 '15 at 13:37
