Calculus
Optimization Calculator
Find the vertex (maximum or minimum) of a quadratic function f(x) = ax² + bx + c. Use this when solving real-world optimization problems like maximizing profit or minimizing cost.
Fill in the required fields to see your result.
Calculus
Taylor Series Calculator
Approximates the value of common functions (eˣ, sin x, cos x, ln x) using their Taylor series expansion around a chosen center point. Ideal for understanding polynomial approximations and truncation error in numerical analysis.
