Minimize[ <Dependent number>, <Free number> ]
Calculates the free number which gives the minimal value of the dependent number. The free number must be a slider and the slider interval will be used as the search interval. The relationship should be continuous and have only one local minimum in the interval. If the construction is complicated, this command might return ? to avoid using too much processor time.
