sin(x)<0.1

 

sin1(sin(x))<sin1(0.1)

 

x<0.01001667421162...

sinx-x<0.1 how do I find x?

 

sin(x)x<0.1sin(x)<0.1+x

I would graph

y=sin(x)

and 

y=0.1+x

 

The statement will be true when the sin(x) curve is under the line.

You can see that this is true when  x > -0.854      (approximately)
