fMax(
expression, var
) ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒
Boolean expression
Returns a Boolean expression specifying
candidate values of
var
that maximize
expression
or locate its least upper bound.

fMax(.5x^3ìxì2,x) ¸ x = ˆ
Use the “|” operator to restrict the solution
interval and/or specify the sign of other undefined
variables.
For the APPROX setting of the Exact/Approx
mode, fMax() iteratively searches for one
approximate local maximum. This is often faster,
particularly if you use the “|” operator to
constrain the search to a relatively small interval
that contains exactly one local maximum.
Note: See also fMin() and max().

Boolean expression
Returns a Boolean expression specifying

Use the “|” operator to restrict the solution

variables.
For the APPROX setting of the Exact/Approx

approximate local minimum. This is often faster,
particularly if you use the “|” operator to
constrain the search to a relatively small interval
that contains exactly one local minimum.

FnOff CATALOG
FnOff
Deselects all Y= functions for the current
graphing mode.
In split-screen, two-graph mode, FnOff only
applies to the active graph.
FnOff [1] [, 2] ... [,99]
Deselects the specified Y= functions for the
current graphing mode.
In function graphing mode:
FnOff 1,3 ¸ deselects y1(x) and
y3(x).
In parametric graphing mode:
FnOff 1,3 ¸ deselects xt1(t), yt1(t),
xt3(t), and yt3(t).
