Question

Is there any faster way to solve:
theta -sin(theta)=9/50

Answer 1

Faster than what?

Answer 2

Faster than graph

Answer 3

Maybe Newton's method?

Answer 4

But wont that be long.

Answer 5

and that will only give approx

Answer 6

Depends the accuracy u want...

Answer 7

U can guess 1 to start ->

1 - (1-sin 1-9/50) /(1- Cos1) = 1.0467

Answer 8
