👉 In mathematics, a "culminant" is a term used in the context of a function or sequence to denote the point at which it reaches its maximum value. It is often defined as the point where the function changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa. A simple example could be the exponential function y = ax^b, where a > 0 and b > 1. In this case, the "culminant" would be when x = 1, because at that point
