Calculator
Formulas Used
The calculator uses fundamental calculus formulas: Power Rule (d/dx x^n = nx^(n-1)), Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, L’Hospital’s Rule for limits, and basic integration rules. For derivatives, it computes f'(x) = lim(h→0) [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h. Integrals use Riemann sums approximation ∫ab f(x)dx = limn→∞ Σ f(xi)Δx.
How to Use
Enter numerical values in the input fields, select operation type (derivative, integral, or limit) from dropdown menu, and click Calculate. The calculator will process inputs using appropriate calculus formulas and display results instantly. Use Clear button to reset fields. For best results, enter whole numbers and clearly define problem parameters before calculation.
Development Process
The calculator was developed through: 1) Requirement analysis with math teachers, 2) Formula implementation using JavaScript, 3) UI design with HTML/CSS, 4) Testing with sample problems, 5) Beta testing by students, 6) Final deployment on secure web servers with continuous updates.
