well, you know that
f(0) = -2
f(pi/2) = pi/2
So, start with those two values
a1 = 0, b1=pi/2
so, c1 = pi/2-(pi/2)(pi/2-0)/(pi/2-(-2)) = 0.88
f(c1)=f(0.88) = 0.421
Since f(c1) > 0,
a2 = a1, b2 = c1 = 0.421
I assume you can follow the method, as explained at

Come back if you get stuck, and show your calculations.
