AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving the transcendental equation sin(x) = x/2 using Maple software. The user is familiar with solving the equation over specific intervals but seeks a method to find all solutions simultaneously within the range of x = -3 to 3. They inquire if it's possible to use a single command in Maple to achieve this, rather than solving for each interval separately. The focus is on finding an efficient way to obtain all solutions at once using the fsolve function.

Hello guys, I am new to maple software and I am stuck on solving a simple transcendental equation:

sin(x)=x/2 over the range x=-3,...,3.

I know how to solve this equation for individual intervals, for example:
> fsolve(sin(x) = (1/2)*x, x = -3 .. -1);

> fsolve(sin(x) = (1/2)*x, x = -1 .. 1);

> fsolve(sin(x) = (1/2)*x, x = 1 .. 3);

However I want to solve it, so that it outputs all of the three solutions at once:

>fsolve(sin(x) = (1/2)*x, x = -3 .. 3);


Is this possible?
cheers
