Find all solutions to the equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Round your answers to two decimal places.) x^2 = sinx
there is no algebraic way to solve for x. Just graph it
The format of the answer gives me a hint that it's solvable though...
do you have the ans 1,-1 ?
cannot have the rt of neg x^2 =-3
1, -1 is wrong...
i thought so, thanks
I never said this is not solvable. I said there is not algebraic way to solve for x. Meaning you can not solve for x using algebraic manipulation. So the only way is to graph it
@sourwing: I meant, "The format of the answer gives me a hint that it's solvable algebraically."
no, it only said there are solutions. x = 0 or x = 0.88 by graphing method. If there were an algebraic way to solve for x, I will quit being a math major
x = 0 and x = 0.88 is right. Thanks!
