Note: Include an initial guess for the variables to be found. Note: Begin the SOLVE BLOCK with the word GIVEN. Note: List all contraints. Hold down the Ctrl key and press = to obtain the constraint symbol (Boolean equals) or pick the bold = on the toolbar . Note: The SOLVE BLOCK must end with a Find statement. Note: Display the results.

We can see that the curve reaches a maximum somewhere between X = 0 and X = 0.5. We can use a SOLVE BLOCK to find the maximum. Recall that maxima and minima occur when the derivative equals 0.
X 0
Given d F( X ) 0 dX
Xmax
Find( X )
Xmax = 0.286
So the maximum occurs at X = 0.286 (this appears to agree with the graph above). Now determine the value of F for Xmax. The maximum value of F (this appears to agree with the graph above).
Fmax
F( Xmax )
Fmax = 21.022
