Enter the function and variable to find the derivative using derivative calculator.
Differential or Differentiation calculator is an online calculus tool that finds the derivative of a given function. It can perform explicit as well as implicit differentiation at one click.
Most importantly, differentiate calculator shows the step by step calculation along with the detailed answer.
Let f(x) be a function whose domain contains an open interval at some point x0. The function f(x) is said to be differentiable at x0, and the derivative of f(x) at x0 is given by:
In other words, derivative measures the sensitivity to change of the function value with respect to a change in its argument. The reverse function of derivative is known as antiderivative.
Let’s calculate the derivative of 1/x to grasp the basic idea of derivation.
As 1/x = x-1
We will use product rule (Refer to below rules).
d/dx (x-1) = -1(x-2) = - 1/x2
Example:
Find the derivative of (x+7)2.
Solution:
Step 1: Apply derivation symbol.
Step 2: Apply power rule.
