Unable to solve symbolically.

I want to solve x, and it shows the warning messege "Unable to solve symbolically". It tells me to use vpasolve, but I don't want the "0" answer. Below is my code.

>syms x real;

>sol = solve(sin(x)==0.703*x,x);

What should I do to solve x?

Thanks

Answer 1

x0 = [1 2];
fun = @(x)sin(x)-0.703*x;
sol = fzero(fun,x0)

Thanks for your answer. However, I don't know what are the meaning of "@(x)" and "fzero". Would you like to explain? Thanks alot

Use vpasolve with a third parameter that gives a starting point or search range.
