Real function local extremum (maximize and minerr)

[TC]

I tried to find the maximum of the real function (n*p) but I failed. I used maximize and minerr commands. Where did I go wrong?

What does TOL and CTOL mean?

Thanks!

Hi,

I took a different path using the root function.

Hi,

TOL "Convergence Tolerance" and CTOL "Constraint Tolerance" are global variables that you can alter on the Menu Ribbon under the Calculation Tab.

Look up TOL in help for a good explanation of what each one does.
