There are to classes of methods to find the minimum of a function: analytical and numerical. Analytical methods are precise but cannot be applied always. For example, we can find the minimum of a function by setting its first derivative to zero and solve for the variable and then check the second derivative (must be positive). Numerical methods involve the application of steps repeatedly until an acceptable estimate of the solution is found. Numerical methods include Newton method, steepest descent method, golden section method, Simplex method, to name just a few.
It can't - unless you analyze the function restricted to a certain interval.
Find the minimum and maximum values from the given data. Then range is the difference between maximum and minimum values.
You integrate the probability distribution function to get the cumulative distribution function (cdf). Then find the value of the random variable for which cdf = 0.5.

To find the minimum point on a plot in Scilab, you can use the fmin function which numerically finds the minimum of a function. First, define your function and then call fmin with the function and an initial guess as arguments. For example, if your function is f(x), you can find the minimum by using x_min = fmin(0, f), where 0 is the initial guess. Finally, you can plot the function and mark the minimum point using plot and plot2d.
By taking the derivative of the function. At the maximum or minimum of a function, the derivative is zero, or doesn't exist. And end-point of the domain where the function is defined may also be a maximum or minimum.
You cannot. The function f(x) = x2 + 1 has no real zeros. But it does have a minimum.
Find the maximum and minimum values that the function can take over all the values in the domain for the input. The range is the maximum minus the minimum.
Set the first derivative of the function equal to zero, and solve for the variable.
y=2x2-3x2-12x+5=0
For the function y = x^(3) + 6x^(2) + 9x Then dy/dx = 3x^(2) + 12x + 9 At max/min dy/dx = 0 Hence 3x^(2) + 12x + 9 = 0 3(x^(2) + 4x + 3) = 0 Factor (x + 1)(x + 3) = 0 Hence x = -1 & x = -3 are the turning point (max/min) To determine if x = 0 at a max/min , the differentiate a second time Hence d2y/dx2 = 6x + 12 = 0 Are the max/min turning points. Substitute , when x = -1 6(-1) + 12 = (+)6 minimum turning point . x = -3 6(-3) + 12 = -6 maximum turning point. When x = positive(+), then the curve is at a minimum. When x = negative (-), then the curve is at a maximum turning point. NB When d2y/dx2 = 0 is the 'point of inflexion' , where the curve goes from becoming steeper/shallower to shallower/steeper. So when d2y/dx2 = 6x + 12 = 0 Then 6x = -12 x = -2 is the point of inflexion. NNB When differentiating the differential answer gives the steeper of the gradient. So if you make the gradient zero ( dy/dx = 0) , there is no steepness, it is a flat horizontal line
To find the minimum or maximum value of a constant in a function, you first need to identify if the constant is part of a larger expression or if it stands alone. If it's part of a function, you can analyze the function's critical points by taking its derivative and setting it to zero to find local extrema. Then, evaluate the function at these critical points and the boundaries of the domain to determine the overall minimum or maximum value. If the constant is standalone, it remains unchanged as it does not vary with input.
Addition is the maximum or minimum function in math.
The general procedure is to find the function's derivative, and then solve for (derivative of the function) = 0. Each of these solutions may be a local maximum or minimum - or none. Further analysis is required. A local maximum or minimum may also occur at points where the derivative is undefined, as well as at the function's endpoints (assuming it is only defined for a certain range, for example, from 0 to 10).
A global minimum is a point where the function has its lowest value - nowhere else does the function have a lower value. A local minimum is a point where the function has its lowest value for a certain surrounding - no nearby points have a lower value.
The minimum is the vertex which in this case is 0,0 or the origin. There isn't a maximum.....
