For many choices of a,b,c, there is a unique x>0 satisfying a*x^2+b*cos(x)=c.
Guide to related sequences, with graphs included in Mathematica programs:
a.... b.... c..... x
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 A198755, take f(x,u,v)=x^2+u*cos(x)-v 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.
