Hi guys.
I was trying to play with trig function and I finally ended up with this equation:

[itex]\sqrt{2}sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-d\theta)=1-dx[/itex]

How can I determine a function [itex]\Theta(x)[/itex] from that equation?

Please, can anyone help me?

Your equation makes no sense. What was the equation you started with?
