Answer 1

Two reasons. One, your function f(x) does not have an explicit return statement. If a function doesn't contain an explicit return it will have an implicit one, that is "None" (None is a python object). Second, the only place where f(x) is called is in bisection() which itself is never being called. So, since none of your functions are ever called, your code isn't going to return anything. Try calling bisection() after defining it
