Hello there, everybody,
How is it going? I hope you’re doing well and that you’ve been keeping yourselves safe! Keep going, I’m cheering for you!

So, I had to take a look at derivatives recently, as I discussed in this post, for a sec. 5 student, and I decided to look more into things that could help us out.

What is this? What does it offer me?

This is gonna be such a quick post, because this particular website is called Derivative Calculator.

There are a few of these kinds of calculators out there, but I really got interested in this one in terms of how it actually shows us the steps that are being followed by the calculator and it shows the calculator’s reasoning in finding the answer.

As a person who is currently trying to review and trying to remember what derivatives are and how it works, I think this is awesome because it really helped me remember these notions.

STUDENTS WHO ARE READING THIS, I discourage you from doing this without understanding the basics, please don’t use this like that! I know that it seems easier; to take the “easy” way out, but suffer through it, practice first and use this as a verification step. I don’t think you’ll be able to use this kind of tool at the exam!

I hope this was somewhat helpful,
Keep being safe and… see you next month!
