Min Command

Min[Number a, Number b]

Yields the minimum of the given numbers a and b.

Min[List of Numbers]

Yields the minimum of the numbers within the list.

Note: If the input consists of non-numeric objects, then Min[] considers the numbers associated with those objects. For example, Min[List of Segments] will yield the minimum segment length.

Min[ <Function>, <left-x>, <right-x> ]

Calculates the minimum point for function in the given interval. Function should only have one minimum point in the interval.

Note: See also Extremum Command and Function Inspector Tool.

Min[ <Interval > ]

Returns the lower bound of the interval, e.g. Min[2<x<3] returns 2. It is the same for open and closed intervals.

CAS Syntax

Min[Number a, Number b]

Yields the minimum of the given numbers a and b.

Min[List of Numbers]

Yields the minimum of the numbers within the list.

Min[Number a, Number b]

Yields the minimum of the given numbers a and b.

Example:

Min[12, 15] yields 12.

Min[List of Numbers]

Yields the minimum of the numbers within the list.

Example:

Min[{-2, 12, -23, 17, 15}] yields -23.

Note: If the input consists of non-numeric objects, then Min[] considers the numbers associated with those objects. For example, Min[List of Segments] will yield the minimum segment length.

Min[ Function, left-x, right-x ]

Calculates the minimum point for function in the given interval. Function should only have on minimum point in the interval.

Note: See also Extremum Command and Function Inspector Tool.

Min[ <Interval> ]

Returns the lower bound of the interval, e.g. Min[2 < x < 3] returns 2. It is the same for open and closed intervals.

CAS Syntax

Min[Number a, Number b]

Yields the minimum of the given numbers a and b.

Example:

Min[12, 15] yields 12.

Min[List of Numbers]

Yields the minimum of the numbers within the list.

Example:

Min[{-2, 12, -23, 17, 15}] yields -23.
