👉 In mathematics, a maximum is an output value of a function or expression that results in its highest value. For example, consider the function f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 6. To find the maximum value of this function, we need to find the point where the derivative (f'(x)) equals zero: f'(x) = d/dx(x^2 - 5x + 6) Using the quotient rule for derivatives, we get: f'(
