have a brief question related to an example in my textbook. In my book, the following theorem on Bisection Method is presented:

If [a0,b0],[a1,b1],...,[an,bn]...[a0,b0],[a1,b1],...,[an,bn]... denote the intervals in the bisection method, then the limits limn→∞anlimn→∞an, and limn→∞bnlimn→∞bn exist, are equal, and represent a zero of ff. If r=limn→∞cnr=limn→∞cn and cn=12(an+bn)cn=12(an+bn), then

|r−cn|≤2−(n+1)(b0−a0)|r−cn|≤2−(n+1)(b0−a0)

Next, there is the following example:

Suppose that the bisection method is started with the interval [50,63][50,63]. How many steps should be taken to compute a root with relative accuracy of one part in 10−1210−12?

OK, so if I were going to solve this, I would have used the theorem above and thought that we must have:

2−(n+1)(63−50)≤10−122−(n+1)(63−50)≤10−12

and then solve this for nn. However, the book example says:

The stated requirement on relative accuracy means that

|r−cn|/|r|≤10−12|r−cn|/|r|≤10−12

We know that r≥50r≥50, and thus it suffices to secure the inequality

|r−cn|/50≤10−12|r−cn|/50≤10−12

By means of the theorem above, we infer that the following condition is sufficent:

2−(n+1)⋅(13/50)≤10−122−(n+1)⋅(13/50)≤10−12

Solving this for nn, we conclude that n≥37n≥37.

OK, so what I don't understand here is why the example begins by writing |r−cn|/|r|≤10−12|r−cn|/|r|≤10−12instead of just |r−cn|≤10−12|r−cn|≤10−12. What is the motivation for including the |r||r| in the denominator on the left side of the inequality?

If someone could explain this to me, I would be very grateful!
