How to Use the Derivative Solver
Explicit functions (f(x)):
- Type a function in terms of x only. Example:
x^3, sin(3*x), arcsin(x).
- Click Derivative to see the first derivative, or Next Derivative for higher-order derivatives.
- Only the x value is needed for evaluation.
Implicit functions (F(x,y) = 0):
- Type an equation using "=", e.g.,
x^2 + y^2 = 25.
- Click Implicit dy/dx to compute the derivative implicitly.
- For evaluation, both x and y values are needed.
Using Math Symbols:
- Click any symbol button to insert it into the function input
- Use the "arc" button followed by a trig function for inverse trig functions
- Constants like π and e are automatically recognized
