Try adapting the Bisection Method:
<<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method>>
If you are having problems coding this in MATLAB, try reading the "Getting Starting" guide that comes with MATLAB (or is available online at MathWorks). It is a quick read and (with the examplkes) should answer most of your questions.
