Anyone have any idea how to solve for x if

f(x) = (r1+d+x)*sin(atan(r2/(x+r1)))-r2
where r2>r1 & d > 0
r1, r2, and d are all constants

I've tried implementing Newtons method for approximating the answer with no
luck, I've check my work at least 3 times and can't figure out why it's not
working, any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
