: The limits or rules the solution must follow (e.g., a limited budget or specific physical dimensions).

: In Calculus 1 , optimization is often solved by finding where the first derivative of a function equals zero, which indicates a potential peak (maximum) or valley (minimum) on a graph. 2. Practical Applications

In mathematics, optimization typically involves finding the maximum or minimum values of an .

: The formula representing the goal, such as for profit or for material cost.
