Math Solver
Math Solver
The Math Solver feature on Google SERP is a rich result that shows explanations on how to solve math problems. This feature is triggered by search queries that contain math equations. For example, if you type (3-x)^2 into the search bar, you’ll get the Math Solver showing several options on how to simplify the equation and the final solution you should get. This feature is based on the math solver structured data markup from pages where users can submit math equations, and can be particularly useful for educational content businesses.
In DataForSEO SERP API responses, the Math Solver feature from Google Search is returned as a structured “math_solver” item, with each expandable explanation listed as a structured “math_solver_expanded_element”.
