Type any function, see every rule.

Put in any function of x. The solver names the rule for each piece, outside in, one step at a time, and checks the answer against the slope of the graph.

Type any function of x

Homework question not on this page? Type it in. You get the rule for each piece, outside in, one step at a time, then the tidy answer.

f(x)={f(x) } =
x2sin⁡(3x){\displaystyle x^{2} \sin\left(3 x\right)}
f(x)=x2sin⁡(3x)f(x) = x^{2} \sin\left(3 x\right)

    The tangent line touches the curve at the point; its steepness is f′(x). The measured slope zooms in on the curve, so it should match f′ once you finish the steps.
