I am currently trying to minimize the following function in Mathematica:
((360*(-1 + E^(0.2493150684931507*r0)))/91 - r[L3m])^2
Using r0. When I try to minimize this algebraically using Minimize,
however, I receive the following answer:
Minimize[((360*(-1 + E^(0.2493150684931507*r0)))/91 - r[L3m])^2, {r0}]
Instead of an algebraic answer. Is there any way to coerce Mathematica
to return the algebraic answer through a call to minimize?
Thanks,
Alex
