Bracketing Methods always require two initial estimates (T/F) - ANSWERSTrue

Discontinuous functions can result in a bracket with opposite sgned function values having an even
number of root (T/F) - ANSWERSTrue

Bracketing methods always converge, but usually do so more slowly than open methods (T/F) -
ANSWERSTrue
