COMMENTS

For many choices of a,b,c, there is a unique nonzero number x satisfying a*x^2+b*x=c*sin(x).

Specifically, for a>0 and many choices of b and c, the curves y=ax^2+bx and y=c*sin(x) meet in a single point if and only if b=c, in which case the curves have a common tangent line, y=c*x. If b<c, the curves meet in quadrant 1; if b>c, they meet in quadrant 2.

Suppose that f(x,u,v) is a function of three real variables and that g(u,v) is a function defined implicitly by f(g(u,v),u,v)=0. We call the graph of z=g(u,v) an implicit surface of f.

For an example related to A198414, take f(x,u,v)=x^2+u*x-v*sin(x) and g(u,v) = a nonzero solution x of f(x,u,v)=0. If there is more than one nonzero solution, care must be taken to ensure that the resulting function g(u,v) is single-valued and continuous. A portion of an implicit surface is plotted by Program 2 in the Mathematica section.
