A negative of a vector represents the direction opposite to the reference direction. It means that the magnitude of two vectors are same but they are opposite in direction.

For example, if A and B are two vectors that have equal magnitude but opposite in direction, then vector A is negative of vector B.

Yes, a vector which has zero magnitude is also a vector in case of two vectors travelling in opposite directions with equal magnitudes. At this case, the resultant vector has zero magnitude but it is still a vector. We call it a null vector.

Here, f(x)=x2 -6 logx-3=0

f(2)=4-6 log2-3=-0.806

f(3)=9-6 log3-3=3.1373

f(2).f(3)=-0.806*3.1373=-2.529422 which is negative.

Hence, the root lies between 2 and 3

c0 =(2+3)/2=2.5

f(2.5)=6.25-6 log 2.5-3=0.8623

Now
