The intensity of light in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a single slit is I = I0

Question:

The intensity of light in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a single slit is I = I0 (sin γ/γ) 2 where γ = π a sin θ/λ
(a) Show that the equation for the values of -y at which I is a maximum is tan-y = -y.
(b) Determine the three smallest positive values of -y that are solutions of this equation.
