Substituting x = 2 x=2 x = 2 and x = 4 x=4 x = 4 gives
f ( 2 ) = 2 ( 2 ) − 2 / 3 + 1 2 ( 2 ) − 1 3 ( 2 ) − 5 − 5 2 = 2 2 2 / 3 + 1 − 1 − 5 2 = − 1.240078 … ≈ − 1.2401. \begin{align*}
&\,f(2)\\
=&\,2(2)^{-2/3}+\frac12(2)\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}-\frac1{3(2)-5}-\frac52\\
=&\,\frac2{2^{2/3}}+1-1-\frac52\\
=&\,-1.240078\ldots\\
\approx&\,-1.2401.
\end{align*} = = = ≈ f ( 2 ) 2 ( 2 ) − 2/3 + 2 1 ( 2 ) − 3 ( 2 ) − 5 1 − 2 5 2 2/3 2 + 1 − 1 − 2 5 − 1.240078 … − 1.2401.
and
f ( 4 ) = 2 ( 4 ) − 2 / 3 + 1 2 ( 4 ) − 1 3 ( 4 ) − 5 − 5 2 = 2 4 2 / 3 + 2 − 1 7 − 5 2 = 0.150843 … ≈ 0.1508. \begin{align*}
&\,f(4)\\
=&\,2(4)^{-2/3}+\frac12(4)\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}-\frac1{3(4)-5}-\frac52\\
=&\,\frac2{4^{2/3}}+2-\frac17-\frac52\\
=&\,0.150843\ldots\\
\approx&\,0.1508.
\end{align*} = = = ≈ f ( 4 ) 2 ( 4 ) − 2/3 + 2 1 ( 4 ) − 3 ( 4 ) − 5 1 − 2 5 4 2/3 2 + 2 − 7 1 − 2 5 0.150843 … 0.1508.

表中在 [ 1 , 2 ] [1,2] [ 1 , 2 ] 和 [ 3 , 4 ] [3,4] [ 3 , 4 ] 都出现异号端点,但 x = 5 / 3 x=5/3 x = 5/3 是函数在 [ 1 , 2 ] [1,2] [ 1 , 2 ] 内的不连续点,因此该处的符号变化不能证明存在零点。函数在 [ 3 , 4 ] [3,4] [ 3 , 4 ] 连续,故应选择这一段。

Since
f ( 3 ) ≈ − 0.2885 < 0 f(3)\approx-0.2885<0 f ( 3 ) ≈ − 0.2885 < 0
and
f ( 4 ) ≈ 0.1508 > 0 , f(4)\approx0.1508>0, f ( 4 ) ≈ 0.1508 > 0 ,
f f f changes sign on [ 3 , 4 ] [3,4] [ 3 , 4 ] . Also, f f f is continuous on this interval, so
α ∈ [ 3 , 4 ] . \boxed{\alpha\in[3,4]}. α ∈ [ 3 , 4 ] .
Although f ( 1 ) f(1) f ( 1 ) and f ( 2 ) f(2) f ( 2 ) have opposite signs, f f f is not continuous on [ 1 , 2 ] [1,2] [ 1 , 2 ] because x = 5 / 3 x=5/3 x = 5/3 lies in this interval. Therefore [ 1 , 2 ] [1,2] [ 1 , 2 ] cannot be used to locate the root.

The first midpoint is
3 + 4 2 = 3.5. \frac{3+4}{2}=3.5. 2 3 + 4 = 3.5.
Evaluating the function gives
f ( 3.5 ) = 2 ( 3.5 ) − 2 / 3 + 3.5 2 − 1 3 ( 3.5 ) − 5 − 5 2 = − 0.064221 … < 0. \begin{align*}
&\,f(3.5)\\
=&\,2(3.5)^{-2/3}+\frac{3.5}{2}\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}-\frac1{3(3.5)-5}-\frac52\\
=&\,-0.064221\ldots<0.
\end{align*} = = f ( 3.5 ) 2 ( 3.5 ) − 2/3 + 2 3.5 − 3 ( 3.5 ) − 5 1 − 2 5 − 0.064221 … < 0.
Since f ( 4 ) > 0 f(4)>0 f ( 4 ) > 0 , the root lies in [ 3.5 , 4 ] [3.5,4] [ 3.5 , 4 ] .
The second midpoint is
3.5 + 4 2 = 3.75. \frac{3.5+4}{2}=3.75. 2 3.5 + 4 = 3.75.
Evaluating again gives
f ( 3.75 ) = 2 ( 3.75 ) − 2 / 3 + 3.75 2 − 1 3 ( 3.75 ) − 5 − 5 2 = 0.043595 … > 0. \begin{align*}
&\,f(3.75)\\
=&\,2(3.75)^{-2/3}+\frac{3.75}{2}\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}-\frac1{3(3.75)-5}-\frac52\\
=&\,0.043595\ldots>0.
\end{align*} = = f ( 3.75 ) 2 ( 3.75 ) − 2/3 + 2 3.75 − 3 ( 3.75 ) − 5 1 − 2 5 0.043595 … > 0.
Since f ( 3.5 ) < 0 f(3.5)<0 f ( 3.5 ) < 0 , the required interval is
α ∈ [ 3.5 , 3.75 ] . \boxed{\alpha\in[3.5,3.75]}. α ∈ [ 3.5 , 3.75 ] .
Its width is 3.75 − 3.5 = 0.25 3.75-3.5=0.25 3.75 − 3.5 = 0.25 .

For negative x x x , evaluate the power using the real cube root:
x − 2 / 3 = 1 ( x 3 ) 2 . x^{-2/3}=\frac1{(\sqrt[3]{x})^2}. x − 2/3 = ( 3 x ) 2 1 .
At the left endpoint,
f ( − 1 ) = 2 ( − 1 ) − 2 / 3 + − 1 2 − 1 3 ( − 1 ) − 5 − 5 2 = 2 − 1 2 + 1 8 − 5 2 = 16 − 4 + 1 − 20 8 = − 7 8 = − 0.875. \begin{align*}
&\,f(-1)\\

=&\,-0.875.
\end{align*} = = = = = f ( − 1 ) 2 ( − 1 ) − 2/3 + 2 − 1 − 3 ( − 1 ) − 5 1 − 2 5 2 − 2 1 + 8 1 − 2 5 8 16 − 4 + 1 − 20 − 8 7 − 0.875.
At the right endpoint,
f ( − 0.5 ) = 2 ( − 0.5 ) − 2 / 3 + − 0.5 2 − 1 3 ( − 0.5 ) − 5 − 5 2 = 2 ( − 0.5 3 ) 2 − 1 4 + 2 13 − 5 2 = 0.578648 … \begin{align*}
&\,f(-0.5)\\
=&\,2(-0.5)^{-2/3}+\frac{-0.5}{2}\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}-\frac1{3(-0.5)-5}-\frac52\\
=&\,\frac2{(\sqrt[3]{-0.5})^2}-\frac14\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}+\frac2{13}-\frac52\\
=&\,0.578648\ldots
\end{align*} = = = f ( − 0.5 ) 2 ( − 0.5 ) − 2/3 + 2 − 0.5 − 3 ( − 0.5 ) − 5 1 − 2 5 ( 3 − 0.5 ) 2 2 − 4 1 + 13 2 − 2 5 0.578648 …
The interval width is
− 0.5 − ( − 1 ) = 0.5. -0.5-(-1)=0.5. − 0.5 − ( − 1 ) = 0.5.
Write D D D for the difference between the two function values:
D = f ( − 0.5 ) − f ( − 1 ) = 0.578648 … − ( − 0.875 ) = 1.453648 … \begin{align*}
&\,D=f(-0.5)-f(-1)\\
=&\,0.578648\ldots-(-0.875)\\
=&\,1.453648\ldots
\end{align*} = = D = f ( − 0.5 ) − f ( − 1 ) 0.578648 … − ( − 0.875 ) 1.453648 …
Using linear interpolation,
β ≈ − 1 + 0 − ( − 0.875 ) D × ( − 0.5 − ( − 1 ) ) = − 1 + 0.875 D × 0.5 = − 0.699033 … \begin{align*}
&\,\beta\\
\approx&\,-1+\frac{0-(-0.875)}{D}\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}\times\big(-0.5-(-1)\big)\\
=&\,-1+\frac{0.875}{D}\times0.5\\
=&\,-0.699033\ldots
\end{align*} ≈ = = β − 1 + D 0 − ( − 0.875 ) × ( − 0.5 − ( − 1 ) ) − 1 + D 0.875 × 0.5 − 0.699033 …
The calculation uses the unrounded function values. Therefore, to 3 3 3 significant figures,
β ≈ − 0.699 . \boxed{\beta\approx-0.699}. β ≈ − 0.699 .
