Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

les trois traductions que tu as trouvées sont bonnes.

derivative => dérivée
et plusieurs verbes sont possibles

"évaluer" n'est généralement pas utiliser pour faire un calcul, en français.

otherwise, they're all pretty common, just convey slightly different things:
calculer: evaluate through calculus
trouver: find the solution
déterminer: evaluate through logic thinking

you can honestly choose any. "trouver" might be the least common in math because of its lack of formality

math is not easy. mostly because you don't tend to see it a lot in another language
there are tricky translations, for instance:
multiplicative inverse => inverse
additive inverse => opposé

I agree with everything flynn said, but I thought since I have my old exercises sitting next to me:

Calculer can work, but I feel like it's used more in finding the dérivative at a point

Examples with "calculer" so yeah it can be both for a point and for the function

Yes that works as well, impératif présent. Here it's a choice by my teacher. Might sound more scientific maybe? I've actually never noticed, I guess in english you can't tell if it's conjugated or not, like calculate or to calculate

[buoyant stone]

I think back in prépa we'd use déterminer for giving a closed form, and calculer for giving the numerical value, but my brain is arleady too withered to remember for certain

oui, on calcule f'(x), mais on ne calcule pas f', ça n'a pas de sens

calculer = arriver à un résultat chiffré
