FAQs
1. Can this solve every integral symbolically?
No. It symbolically solves several common families and numerically estimates custom expressions. That balance keeps the file lightweight, fast, and practical for many classroom and website uses.
2. What custom functions can I type?
You can use sin, cos, tan, exp, log, sqrt, abs, asin, acos, atan, sinh, cosh, and tanh with x, numbers, parentheses, and standard operators.
3. Why does custom mode not show a closed-form antiderivative?
Closed-form symbolic integration for arbitrary expressions requires a much larger algebra system. This version focuses on reliable numeric estimation for custom input and symbolic answers for supported families.
4. What happens when lower and upper bounds are equal?
The definite integral becomes zero because no interval width remains. The calculator also shows a warning so the result is easy to interpret.
5. Why should I increase numerical intervals?
Higher even interval counts usually improve Simpson estimates for smooth functions. They are especially useful when the curve bends often or mixes several changing terms.
6. Can I graph only part of the function?
Yes. Set graph minimum and graph maximum to any range you want. This helps you zoom near turning points, asymptotes, or the definite integration interval.
7. Does the graph shade the definite integral region?
Yes. When definite bounds are present, the plotted region between those bounds is shaded so the selected interval stands out clearly on the graph.
8. What export data is included?
The export captures the mode, integral type, integrand, antiderivative, bounds, definite value, precision, and numerical interval settings in a clean summary table.
