- Max[ <List> ]
- Returns 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 this command considers the numbers associated with those objects. If you have a list of segments for example, the command Max[ <List> ] will yield the maximum segment length.
- Max[ <Interval> ]
- Returns the upper bound of the interval.
- Example:
Max[2 < x < 3]
yields 3.
- Note: Open and closed intervals are treated the same.
- Max[ <Number>, <Number> ]
- Returns the maximum of the two given numbers.
- Example:
Max[12, 15]
yields 15.
- Max[ <Function>, <Start x-Value>, <End x-Value> ]
- Calculates the maximum point of the function in the given interval. The function should be continuous and have only one local maximum point in the interval.
- Example:
Max[ x^3 + 2x^2 - 1, -2, 0]
creates the point (-1.33, 0.19).
- Note: See also Extremum Command, Min Command and Function Inspector Tool.
CAS Syntax
- Max[ <List> ]
- Returns the maximum of the numbers within the list.
- Example:
Max[{-2, 12, -23, 17, 15}]
yields 17.
- Note: See also Extremum Command and Min Command.
- Max[ <Number>, <Number> ]
- Returns the maximum of the two given numbers.
- Example:
Max[12, 15]
yields 15.
