Since there are no deducting terms (no subtraction signs), the values will only continue increasing. Ergo no maximum.
Yeah, I figured that much - just like to check with equations.

I'm a physics major too! First year
I understand math equations more if I know how they are derived and how/why they work (e.g. derivative is the instantaneous slope).
