What is a calculus solver?
A calculus solver works out calculus problems and shows each step. QuizeGpt's calculus problem solver goes further: it names the rule it uses and explains why that rule fits. You see the method, not just the answer, so the next problem gets easier.
- Type a problem, paste a screenshot, or upload a photo.
- Get the answer with every step, written in plain words.
- Ask a follow-up if a step doesn't make sense.
What the calculus problem solver can do
From your first limit to Calculus 2 series, here's what the solver handles, and how it explains each one.
| Calculus topic | What you get |
|---|---|
| Limits | Plugs in, factors or simplifies, and explains why the limit is what it is. |
| Derivatives | Power, product, quotient and chain rule, with each rule named. |
| Implicit differentiation | Takes the derivative of both sides and solves for dy/dx. |
| Related rates and optimization | Turns the word problem into an equation, then solves it step by step. |
| Integrals | Indefinite and definite integrals, including the + C and the bounds. |
| Integration techniques | u-substitution, integration by parts and partial fractions. |
| Series and sequences | Picks a test, like the ratio test, and shows why it works. |
| Graphs and photos | Reads a graph, a table or a photo of your homework. |
Calculus solver with steps: worked examples
This is what a step by step calculus solver gives you. Each step names the rule, so you can follow along.
Find dy/dx if y = (2x² + 1)⁵
- This is a function inside a function, so use the chain rule.
- Outside: u⁵ → 5u⁴. Inside: u = 2x² + 1, so du/dx = 4x.
- Multiply them: 5(2x² + 1)⁴ · 4x.
Answer: dy/dx = 20x(2x² + 1)⁴
Find the limit of (x² − 9) ÷ (x − 3) as x → 3
- Plugging in 3 gives 0 ÷ 0, so simplify first.
- Factor the top: x² − 9 = (x − 3)(x + 3).
- Cancel (x − 3), leaving x + 3. Now plug in 3: 3 + 3 = 6.
Answer: The limit is 6
Evaluate ∫ from 0 to 2 of 3x² dx
- Power rule for integrals: ∫ 3x² dx = x³.
- Plug in the top bound, then the bottom: 2³ − 0³.
- 8 − 0 = 8. (No + C on a definite integral.)
Answer: 8
Evaluate ∫ 2x · cos(x²) dx
- Let u = x². Then du = 2x dx, which is already in the integral.
- The integral becomes ∫ cos(u) du = sin(u).
- Put x² back in for u, and add the constant.
Answer: sin(x²) + C
Try it without signing in
Pick a sample problem, then drag a box over it to snap it, just like the Chrome extension does on your homework page.
Find f′(x) if f(x) = 4x³ − 2x² + 7
- 12x² − 4x
- 12x² − 4x + 7
- 4x² − 2x
- 12x³ − 4x²
Drag a box over the question, just like in the extension. On a phone, tap it. Or press Snap & solve.
- Power rule: the derivative of xⁿ is n·xⁿ⁻¹
- 4x³ → 12x², and −2x² → −4x
- The constant 7 → 0, so f′(x) = 12x² − 4x
Differentiate y = (3x + 1)⁴
- 4(3x + 1)³
- 12(3x + 1)³
- 12(3x + 1)⁴
- (3x + 1)³
Drag a box over the question, just like in the extension. On a phone, tap it. Or press Snap & solve.
- Outside: u⁴ → 4u³. Inside: u = 3x + 1, so du/dx = 3
- Multiply them: 4(3x + 1)³ · 3
- y′ = 12(3x + 1)³

Calculus 2 solver: integrals and series
Calculus 2 is where many students get stuck. The hard part isn't the math. It's knowing which method to use. QuizeGpt tells you which one fits and why.
Integration techniques
- u-substitution when you see a function and its derivative.
- Integration by parts for products like x·eˣ.
- Partial fractions for fractions of polynomials.
Series and sequences
- Ratio test for factorials and powers.
- Comparison tests when a series looks like one you know.
- Taylor series, built one term at a time.
How to solve calculus problems, step by step
Whether you use a solver or not, this five-step method works on almost any calculus problem.
- Step 1
Read what it asks
Is it a limit, a derivative, an integral or a word problem? The type tells you which tools to use.
- Step 2
Pick the rule
Power, chain, product, quotient, substitution or parts. Match the shape of the problem to the rule.
- Step 3
Simplify first
Factor, expand or rewrite roots and fractions as powers. Clean problems are easier to solve.
- Step 4
Work one step at a time
Write each step on its own line. Most mistakes happen when two steps are squeezed into one.
- Step 5
Check your answer
Plug in a number, take the derivative of your integral, or check the units in a word problem.
How to check a calculus answer
Any tool can slip, and so can you. These quick checks catch most mistakes, and they're good habits for the exam.
Undo an integral
Take the derivative of your answer. If you get back the problem you started with, it's right.
Plug in a number
Try x = 1 or x = 2 in the problem and in your answer. A limit should match values close by.
Check the units
In word problems, a rate needs units per time, like m/s. Wrong units mean a wrong setup.
Common calculus mistakes to avoid
Forgetting the + C
Every indefinite integral needs a constant. Definite integrals don't.
Skipping the inside derivative
The chain rule means you multiply by the derivative of the inside function. It's the most common miss.
Mixing up the power rules
Derivatives lower the power by one. Integrals raise it by one and divide by the new power.
