Finding Maximum Positive and Negative Value of a Function (Moments)

Finding Maximum Positive and Negative Value of a Function (Moments)

Finding Maximum Positive and Negative Value of a Function (Moments)

(OP)
I have a function M(x) which is the moments.  Do you guys know how can I determine the maximum negative and positive moment value from this function.    Thanks

RE: Finding Maximum Positive and Negative Value of a Function (Moments)

differentiate it and find the zeros (using, say, the root function or a solve block).  It may be prudent to plot it first to determine the existence and neighbourhood of any zeros.

(OP)
Do you know if there is a predefine function in Mathcad that would determine the max. Pos and max neg. moment?
