Dependence on intial guess/intial interval
Consider f(x) = cos(x). This has infinitely many zeros.
Using either the bisection method or Newton's method, find
a root. Now demonstrate that if you change your initial
guess (for Newton) or your initial interval (for bisection)
then you get a different root.
