Consider the function F(x)=x-2*sin(x). Find the location on the positive x-axis where f(x)=0. Note that x=0 is a trivial solution and is not the intended solution. Use Newton-Raphson method. For this problem, a good first guess of the solution is important. Plot the function to obtain your first guess. An example spreadsheet is available on Moodle. Your answer must contain at least 6 digits beyond the decimal point. Consider that the variable, x, is in radian and no conversion to degrees is required.
