leaving the context behind, I simplified a problem to the following equation:



solve for x: $$e^frac-xa cdot sin(b + cx) = sin(b)$$



Since my equations contains both sine and exponential function, I could neither use $ln$ nor $sin(x)^-1$. I tried using eulers identity to reduce all sine functions to exponential functions. Sadly, this couldn't help me either.



Thanks in advance.

  • Well, c is given. Specified, c is an angular frequency $omega = 2 pi f$. There is a specific case in which $w = 2 pi 83$, but it would be nice To have a General solution.

  • How about $b$ and $a$? Are these quantities related to $c$? I guess this matters for a general solution.

  • $a$ and $b$ are not related to $c$. $a$ is a time-constant, $a in mathbb R_+$. $b in [0, 2pi)$ or $b in [0°, 360°)$

You can rewrite this into
$$
f(x) = e^-x/a sin(b + cx) - sin(a)
$$
and look for the roots.



$f$ seems to be a variation of a sine function modulated by an exponential function.



E.g.



enter image description here



Looks like a signal from electrical engineering.
Maybe they have a non-numerical solution?

  • I'm sorry for my late edit, the last part is $sin(b)$. Indeed, it is. The problem is the following. I want to know if a certain value $y_0$ or $y(x=0)$ returns in $y(x) = r cdot e^frac-xa cdot sin(b + cx)$. Writing this as a equation, I get the one from above. I am able to get to a solution numerically, but it would be satisfying if there was a mathematical solution.
