Is there a way to calculate derivatives on my calculator? The Calculus Made Easy Program can do it, but I don't want to pay $100 for that program...

press [2nd] [d] (the d is under the number Cool

this will show up on the screen as d(

it is of this form. d(function,var,[order])

so if you want to take the derivative of x^2 with respect to x, you would type
Code:
d(x^2,x)

and that would give you
Code:
2x




note, you could also have typed d(x^2,x,1)
but that is uneccesary.

hope that helps
