What Is Differentiation?
Differentiation is the process of finding the derivative of a function — the instantaneous rate of change at any point. It's a cornerstone of calculus with applications in physics (velocity and acceleration), economics (marginal cost and revenue), machine learning (gradient descent), and engineering (optimization and control systems).
The derivative of f(x) at a point x represents how fast f(x) changes for an infinitesimal change in x. Notations include f'(x), dy/dx, and Df(x).
Rules Applied Automatically
- Power rule: d/dx[xⁿ] = nxⁿ⁻¹
- Chain rule: d/dx[f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) × g'(x)
- Product rule: d/dx[f×g] = f'g + fg'
- Quotient rule: d/dx[f/g] = (f'g - fg') / g²
- Trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic derivatives
How to Use
Enter any mathematical expression (e.g., x^3 + 2*x^2 - 5*x + 3 or sin(x)*e^x). The calculator computes the symbolic derivative and displays the result — no step-by-step limit notation required.
