- Max[ <Number a>, <Number b> ]
- Yields the maximum of the given numbers a and b.
- Example:
Max[12, 15]yields 15.
- Max[ <List of Numbers> ]
- Yields the maximum of the numbers within the list.
- Example:
Max[{-2, 12, -23, 17, 15}]yields 17.
Note: If the input consists of non-numeric objects, then Max[] considers the numbers associated with those objects. For example, Max[List of Segments] will yield the maximum segment length.
- Max[ <Function>, <left-x>, <right-x> ]
- Calculates the maximum point for function in the given interval. Function should only have on maximum point in the interval.
Note: See also Extremum Command and Function Inspector Tool.
- Max[ <Interval> ]
- Returns the upper bound of the interval, e.g.
Max[2 < x < 3]returns 3. It is the same for open and closed intervals.
CAS Syntax
- Max[ <Number a>, <Number b> ]
- Yields the maximum of the given numbers a and b.
- Example:
Max[12, 15]yields 15.
- Max[ <List of Numbers> ]
- Yields the maximum of the numbers within the list.
- Example:
Max[{-2, 12, -23, 17, 15}]yields 17.
