How to Use
This tool calculates derivatives of mathematical functions and displays visual graphs of both the original function and its derivative. • Type a mathematical expression in the input field using standard notation (x, x^2, sin(x), etc.) • Use operators: + - * / ^ for basic operations and exponents • Supported functions include: sin, cos, tan, log, ln, sqrt, abs, and more • Click "Go!" or press Enter to calculate the derivative • The calculated derivative appears in mathematical notation below your input • A graph shows both your original function and its derivative plotted together • Use mouse to interact with the graph - hover for values, zoom, and pan • The x-axis range adjusts automatically based on your function • Clear the input field to enter a new expression and recalculate • Examples to try: x^2, sin(x), 2*x + 3, or more complex expressions like x^3 - 2*x + 1
