  • Supported Functions (Examples): +, -, *, /, ^ (power), sqrt(), sin(), cos(), tan(), asin(), acos(), atan(), log() (natural log), log10(), exp(), abs(). Use ‘pi’ for π and ‘e’ for Euler’s number.
  • Equation Solving: For simple equations like “2x+5=10”, type it as is. (Note: actual solving logic is highly simplified for this demo).
  • Calculus: Differentiation and integration are conceptual in this demo and will mainly echo the input.

Understanding the Symbolab Calculator

Symbolab is a powerful tool that helps students and professionals solve a wide variety of mathematical problems. It provides not just answers, but also detailed step-by-step solutions to help users understand the underlying concepts and methods.

Key Features (Conceptual for this Demo)

Expression Evaluation:

Calculates the value of mathematical expressions, including arithmetic operations, functions (trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential), and constants like π and e. This demo uses JavaScript’s Math object and eval() for basic evaluation.

Equation Solving:

Finds solutions for various types of equations (linear, quadratic, polynomial, etc.). This demo provides a very conceptual placeholder for this complex feature.

Calculus Operations:

Performs differentiation and integration for functions. Finding derivatives and integrals often involves applying specific rules and techniques. This demo shows the problem statement conceptually.

Trigonometry:

Solves trigonometric equations, simplifies expressions, and works with identities. Options for angle units (radians/degrees) are crucial.

How to Use This Demo

  • Enter Problem: Type your mathematical expression or equation into the input field.
  • Select Operation Type: Choose what you want to do (e.g., Evaluate, Solve).
  • Settings: Optionally, toggle “Show Steps” to see a very basic breakdown of how the demo processes the input. You can also select angle units for trigonometric functions.
  • Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button to see the result.

Disclaimer: This is a simplified demonstration mimicking the layout of the Fat Intake Calculator. The mathematical capabilities are very limited compared to the real Symbolab. The use of eval() for expression evaluation can be a security risk with untrusted input and is used here for simplicity only.
