I'm trying to calculate a table of x vs t, with x as the dependent variable from
this formula
[tex]t + C = \frac{1}{2}(x\sqrt( 1 - x^2) + arcsin(x) ) [/tex]
C=0.4783 is given when t=0 and x = 1/2
I thought it would be simple but my code is giving nonsensical results, viz.
a straight line ! I do get the correct answer when t =0 (1/2) and I can't find a fault in my code. My code also gives a straight line for
t = arcsin(x) + 0.5 which obviously wrong, since x = sin( t - 1/2).
Has anyone got a general algorithm for this ? I'm using simplex but I
haven't tried Newton-Ralphson
