Given an exact expression, Maximize tries to return an exact
expression as the solution. It is relatively easy to pose
problems where this cannot be done within given resources. Try
using NMaximize or changing the problem so that at least one of
the constants is machine precision which will cause Maximize to
use NMaximize.
