![Related to Q16675: Find the number of intersection points of graph sin x=(x/(10)). Let′s see sin x = (x/n) with n>1. For n≤1 there is one intersection point. Let x=2kπ+t with k∈N ∧ t∈[0,2π] sin x=sin t cos x=cos t we find the point on f(x)=sin x where its tangent is g(x)=(x/n). f′(x)=cos x=cos t g′(x)=(1/n) cos t=(1/n) t=cos^(−1) (1/n) sin t=(n/( (√(n^2 +1)))) so that f(x) intersects with g(x), ((sin x)/x)≥(1/n) ⇒n sin x≥x ⇒n sin t≥2kπ+t ⇒k≤((n sin t −t)/(2π))=(((n^2 /( (√(n^2 +1))))−cos^(−1) (1/n))/(2π)) k_(max) =⌊(((n^2 /( (√(n^2 +1))))−cos^(−1) (1/n))/(2π))⌋ number of intersecting points is m=2×2(k_(max) +1)−1=4k_(max) +3 for n=10 k_(max) =⌊(((n^2 /( (√(n^2 +1))))−cos^(−1) (1/n))/(2π))⌋ =⌊((((10^2 )/( (√(10^2 +1))))−cos^(−1) (1/(10)))/(2π))⌋=⌊1.35⌋=1 ⇒m=4×1+3=7 for n=20 k_(max) =⌊((((20^2 )/( (√(20^2 +1))))−cos^(−1) (1/(20)))/(2π))⌋=⌊2.94⌋=2 ⇒m=4×2+3=11](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q16699.png)
