* Question Six
+Consider we have the results of two methods developed in this homework: ~least_dominant_eigenvalue~, and ~dominant_eigenvalue~
+into ~lambda_0~, ~lambda_n~, respectively. Also assume that we have the method implemented as we've introduced,
+~shift_inverse_power_eigenvalue~.
+Then, we begin at the midpoint of ~lambda_0~ and ~lambda_n~, and compute the
+~new_lambda = shift_inverse_power_eigenvalue~
+with a shift at the midpoint, and some given initial guess.
+
+1. If the result is equal (or within some tolerance) to ~lambda_n~ then the closest eigenvalue to the midpoint
+ is still the dominant eigenvalue, and thus the next most dominant will be on the left. Set ~lambda_n~
+ to the midpoint and reiterate.
+2. If the result is greater or equal to ~lambda_0~ we know an eigenvalue of greater or equal magnitude
+ exists on the right. So, we set ~lambda_0~ to this eigenvalue associated with the midpoint, and
+ re-iterate.
+3. Continue re-iterating until we hit some given maximum number of iterations. Finally we will return
+ ~new_lambda~.
