Parameters

|
X
|
-
|
algebraic; random variable or distribution
|
t
|
-
|
algebraic; any expression
|

Description
|
|
•
|
There are three forms of output that Support can return.
|
|
If called with the option, then Support returns a property that points in the set A have, typically of the form RealRange(a, b). Note that only numeric ranges can be represented in this way.
|
|
If called with the option, then Support returns a boolean expression expressing that t is in A, typically of the form .
|
|
If called with the option, then Support returns a range describing A, of the form .
|
•
|
The second parameter can be any algebraic expression. It is a necessary argument for and ignored otherwise.
