f(x) is relatively large.
Note the difference between the last two estimates, as well as the relatively
large value for f(x). The problem is that there is no value of x for which f(x)
equals zero. However, at x = 1.99999999999, there is a neighboring value
of x that yields ant opposite sign for f(x).
