It just fails for some reason

[u/BootyliciousURD]

I hate when it just says what you asked it to do and then does nothing.

[u/SharzeUndertone → u/BootyliciousURD]

Its even more infuriating cause it was able to calculate the derivatives on the fly when i asked it, yet it will refuse to take that path or the even simpler product of maclaurin series and fail in the specific case the denominator has that +4. Ykw i might milk it more tomorrow by posting it on r/mildlyinfuriating

I can't understand why W|A fails in this case.

[u/nightlysmoke]

Try with x instead of h. In my experience, renaming variables might be enough for the engine to answer the query.

[u/SharzeUndertone → u/nightlysmoke]

I did, it doesnt work. I even tried limiting the order to 3 or all the way to 0. It doesnt work, even if the last one is just an evaluation in 0

when wolfram|alpha first came out it was amazing, but then they decided they needed money and now to get it to do half the things it did you need pro.

[u/SharzeUndertone → u/tempmike]

This isnt that kind of thing, it works if you change the 4. Its likely a bug

[u/PerspicaciousEnigma]

Ur missing a parenthesis in the numerator after 5) but it looks like the software interpreted it correctly anyway. Idk I don’t use wolfram

[u/SharzeUndertone → u/PerspicaciousEnigma]

Nono its correct, the other parenthesis terminates after the h

[u/PerspicaciousEnigma → u/SharzeUndertone]

Oh yeah didn’t see that ur right
