We're all aware of Google's vast capabilities. However, you might not have realized that Google can handle both simple and complex mathematical computations. Renowned for its search engine and array of applications, this tech giant has made crunching numbers effortless—even without a physical calculator. Here's how it's done.
Step-by-Step Guide
Accessing the Google Calculator
Getting to the Google homepage. You can find it at www.google.com, the same place where you can search or access other Google services using the menu in the top right corner.
- If you're using Google Chrome's default search engine or have set Google as your preferred search engine, you don't need to visit www.google.com. Simply type your equation into the search bar at the top of your window and press ⏎ Return.
Utilize Google for Problem Solving. Google is capable of handling arithmetic, functions, and providing values for physical constants, as well as performing base and representative conversions. Simply input the equation or problem you need solved. After entering the mathematical query, press ⏎ Return.
- You can also access a more conventional-looking calculator by searching for 'calculator' on Google. Here, you can input numbers and equations into the calculator's text field, or use its various keys and functions.
- Google's search bar recognizes numerous operations including + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), ^ (exponents), and sqrt(number) for square roots. You can also find more advanced tips at http://www.googleguide.com/help/calculator.html.
Verify your answer. Google's calculator will automatically display the answer to your query.
Exploring Additional Google Calculator Functions
Graph equations. Google allows you to graph trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions, as well as three-dimensional graphs on browsers that support WebGL. Simply input your functions into the search bar, as you would with a basic arithmetic equation. Then, press ⏎ Return, and Google will display the desired graph.
- You can plot multiple functions simultaneously by separating the formulas with commas.
- You can also view the graphed function in more detail by zooming in or out, and dragging it in the desired direction.
Solve geometric problems. To begin, search for the formula of the geometric problem (e.g., area of a circle or triangle) on Google. A prompt will appear asking you to input the value(s) for the variable(s) in question. Enter the value(s) and press ⏎ Return to see the answer.
- Google's calculator can assist with various shapes, including 2 and 3-dimensional curved shapes, platonic solids, polygons, prisms, pyramids, quadrilaterals, and triangles.
Unlock the Power of Geometric Functions with Google's Calculator Tool. Google's calculator feature is equipped to handle formulas and equations related to area, circumference, the laws of sines and cosines, hypotenuse, perimeter, the Pythagorean theorem, surface area, and volume.
Easily Convert Units of Measurement. Google's calculator allows for compound operations. Simply input the quantity and unit of one measurement followed by 'in' and the unit to which you want to convert. For instance, you can effortlessly search for '3 tablespoons in teaspoons.'
