Okay thanks for all your help! Much appreciated

Okay I asked a couple of classmates and they say he wants to see the transition of when it gets close to 1% Example: when theta = 0.17 then 0.19, 0.20, 0.21, 0.23 its getting close to the percent difference being 1% (when theta = 0.25 it is about 1%) How would i go about putting this in a...

Okay thank you I found an estimate of the three values for when its closest to 1%, 5%, and 10% now i am still confused on this part: "You are to show this table (for all three quantities) such that the behavior leading slightly up to and slightly after the 1%, 5% and 10% difference marks can be...

How? I assumed theta is positive. i set it up as 100 * (sin (theta) - theta) = 5 *theta then sin (theta) - theta = theta/20 then 20 sin (theta) - 20 (theta) = theta then 20 sin (theta) - 21 (theta) = 0

I simplified \frac{100|\sin(\theta)-\theta|}{\theta}=5 to be 20\sin(\theta)-21\theta=0 and I plugged this into mathematica (WolframAlpha) and it doesn't give me a number besides the integer 0

so for 100\sin(\theta)-99\theta=0 when finding 5% would i change it to 100\sin(\theta)-20\theta=0?

Okay so I plugged in \theta = 0.25 degrees and got it close to 1%. How would i do this for 5, and 10%?

Yes sorry it should be in absolute value. Thanks, how would I pick a suitable value for \theta_0 ?

Yes your on the right track. By saying "Disregard this" I am guessing your still thinking? Thank you! Let me know if/when you get it, this is the only part of my homework I have left lol.

Homework Statement This is what my professor is asking me to do: Show a table for when sin(theta) and theta have a percent difference of 1%, 5%, and 10%. (i.e. this table will have three columns)" You are to show this table (for all three quantities) such that the behavior leading slightly...
