How to Use the AP Calc BC Calculator
This tool performs four common calculus operations on a function f(x). Follow these steps:
- Enter a function in the "Function f(x)" field using standard math notation (e.g.,
x^2 + sin(x),exp(x),1/x). - Select an operation from the dropdown:
- Derivative – computes the derivative at a specific x-value.
- Definite Integral – computes the integral between two bounds (a and b).
- Taylor Series – generates a polynomial approximation around a center point.
- Limit – evaluates the limit as x approaches a point.
- Set the required values:
- For Derivative and Limit: enter the point (x=) in the "Point" field.
- For Integral: enter the lower and upper bounds (a and b).
- For Taylor Series: enter the order (n) and center (a).
- Click "Calculate". The result and a step-by-step explanation will appear below.
Note: Use ^ for exponents, sin(x), cos(x), exp(x), log(x) (natural log), etc. All values are numeric (no units). If the limit does not exist, the result will show "DNE".

Frequently Asked Questions
It supports derivative at a point, definite integral (Simpson's rule), Taylor series expansion, and limit evaluation.
Use standard math notation like x^2, sin(x), exp(x), log(x), etc. The calculator uses math.js for parsing.
Derivative uses central difference with h=1e-8. Integral uses Simpson's rule with 1000 subintervals. Limits use h=1e-10. Results are approximate.
