Mathcad Max of a function of a function

Mathcad Max of a function of a function

Mathcad Max of a function of a function

(OP)
I am trying to find a maximum of a function that calls up a function. I just can't get the syntax correct for the maximize function (I can when using it for a function of single level variables though).

I have attached the file as MathCAD 15.0, and 11.

RE: Mathcad Max of a function of a function

You will need to define the function as a composite function. In Mathcad 15, you can do this a local function definition within the Maximize function. The way you have tried to apply the maximize function means that it is attempting to maximize d, which has no finite maximum.

The attached (linked?) file is saved in M11 format but should be run under M15 (well, OK, M13 or greater) to see the effect of the local function definition.

That is excellent! Thanks for the help.

No worries. [thumbsup2]
