http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/fzero.html
"If x0 is a vector of length two, fzero assumes x0 is an interval where the
sign of fun(x0(1)) differs from the sign of fun(x0(2)). An error occurs if
this is not true. Calling fzero with such an interval guarantees fzero will
return a value near a point where fun changes sign."
So specify an interval that doesn't include 0 where the sign of your
function is different at each endpoint.
