fMax(

Boolean expression
Returns a Boolean expression specifying
candidate values of
var
that maximize
expression
or locate its least upper bound.

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()

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)
