I really with a MATLAB iteration code

[physicist10]

Homework Statement

Hello, I want to obtain a solution to a, where k is a constant. The formula is:

k/a = tan(a)

I need to write a MATLAB code for this but I have been struggling for hours. And I must send the project to my professor in an hour. :(

Homework Equations

I know that I need to do an iteration but how? I tried doing a fixed point iteration but it didn't work.

The Attempt at a Solution

Very limited so far. I would be so so grateful for any help! Thanks!
