I was fiddling around with a simple maximization problem which boiled
down to something like:
In[3]:= Maximize[a + Sin[x], x]
Out[3]= Maximize[a + Sin[x], x]
Even adding a constraint it is still puzzled:
In[5]:= Maximize[{a + Sin[x], a > 0}, x]
Out[5]= Maximize[{a + Sin[x], a > 0}, x]
Or nudging it along even more:
In[6]:= Maximize[{a + Sin[x], a > 0, 0 <= x <= Pi}, x]
Out[6]= Maximize[{a + Sin[x], a > 0, 0 <= x <= Pi}, x]
This seems like a problem it should easily be able to figure out; is
there a trick I'm missing with Maximize?
