Frequently asked questions

Can I see derivative steps?

Yes. When the solver can determine the derivative symbolically, Edu Companion presents the result with guided steps and a student-friendly explanation.

Can it handle chain rule and product rule problems?

Yes. You can enter nested functions, products, quotients, trigonometric functions, exponentials, and logarithms using standard calculator-style notation.

What notation should I use?

Use x as the default variable and expressions such as sin(x^2), x^2*e^x, or ln(x). You can change the variable in the math workspace when needed.
