You can use bisection method to approximate the root of
the equation. It is easy to use excel to do.

I have scoured the newsgroups and web and can't seem to
find an anwser
to this.

I need to find the max of an equation. where the
equation is in this
form 1/(1-e^(z1-x))*(1-1/(1+e^(z2-x))*.........*(1-1/
(1+e^(zn-x)).

Where there are n number of z values that are know.
Meaning that z is
not a variable but different constants.

I can calculate the slope at a specific value of x but
want to solve
for x where F'(x) = 0.

Any help?

Thanks,
John
