This and the following problem may be the student’s first experience with a figure of merit.
• Formulate fom to reflect larger figure of merit for larger merit.
• Use a maximization optimization algorithm. When one gets into computer implementa-
tion and answers are not known, minimizing instead of maximizing is the largest error
one can make.

Check second derivative to see if a maximum, minimum, or point of inflection has been
found. Or, evaluate fom on either side of θ*.
θ* = 54.736◦
