How to use this tool?
This calculator computes the derivative or indefinite integral of a polynomial function and optionally evaluates the result at a specific x-value.
- Enter the function in the "Function f(x)" field using standard polynomial notation, e.g.,
3x^2+2x-1. Use^for exponents. - Choose an operation from the dropdown: Derivative or Integral (indefinite).
- Optional: Enter a number in "Evaluate at x =" to compute the result at that point. Leave blank for just the symbolic result.
- Click Calculate.
The result shows the symbolic derivative or integral (with + C for integrals), and if an x-value was provided, the numeric evaluation. Steps are displayed below.
Note: Only polynomial functions are supported (e.g., 5x^3-2x+7). Use ^ for exponents; spaces are ignored.
