Localize minima and maxima of functions

Let us try to find the local minima and maxima for the function func(x). The interval of interest is [-6 0]. The algorithms are iterative. There are 2 methods to use. The first one decides x in a given interval, and the second one looks for x around an initial guess. To decide the maxima we are looking for an x that minimizes the negative function: -func(x).

The format Function

The format function controls the numeric format of the values displayed. The function affects only how numbers are displayed, not how MATLAB software computes or saves them. Here are the different formats, together with the resulting output produced from a vector x with components of different magnitudes. Read More
