Undefined function 'BisectionRoot' for input arguments of type 'function_handle'.

Code from part 1 of problem (works fine):

%% From 3.2 %%
% Bisection Method
high = 0; %given initial value
low = 1; %given initial value
f = @(x) x - 2*exp(-x); %function
mid = (high + low)/2; % guess
it = 1; %iteration
tol = 0.001; %tolerance
it_max = 5; %max iterations
x1 = mid;
x2 = 0;
x3 = 0;
x4 = 0;
while (mid > tol && it < it_max)
    f_mid = f(mid);
    if f_mid < 0
        high = mid;
    else
        low = mid;
    end
    mid = (high + low) / 2; 
    if it == 1
        x2 = mid;
    elseif it == 2
            x3 = mid;
    elseif it == 3
        x4 = mid;
    elseif it == 4
        x5 = mid;
    end
it = it + 1;
end
x_bisection = [x1 x2 x3 x4];

Please show us the code you are using for calling BisectionRoot. Do you have your BisectionRoot code in a file called BisectionRoot.m somewhere on the MATLAB path?

Oh right, I see where I need this now. Let me see if I have been given one or if I need to write one up.

[Jaycie Bishop]

This is being done on "MatlabGrader" and there is no where (that I see) that I can be inputting a file in the path like I would if I was regularly coding on matlab. So I think I need to adjust the code in order to not call a file.
