f = @(x) sin(x) - x/10;
fplot(f, [-11, 11]);
yline(0)
You can see from this that there are 7 solutions. You can read the approximate positions from the graph, and use fzero() to find the exact locations.

As Walter pointed out, you will have to choose the starting point for fzero approximately at the position where the zero is located. This position can be seen from the above graph.

fzero() can only find one solution at a time; you will need to use several different starting points.
