Mejor AI Math Solver (2026): Herramientas probadas para obtener resultados precisos
Ariette Wynn
Última actualización: 28 de julio de 2026
Fresh test, July 28, 2026: We ran the same five-problem math test through GPT-5.6 Sol, Claude Opus 5, and Gemini 3.6 Flash using one OpenAI-compatible API workflow. All three solved all five questions correctly and verified their answers. The meaningful differences in this small test were response style and single-run latency—not correctness.
Respuesta rápida: There was no accuracy winner in our current test. GPT-5.6 Sol, Claude Opus 5, and Gemini 3.6 Flash each scored 5/5. Gemini 3.6 Flash returned first at 17.45 seconds, Claude Opus 5 followed at 17.89 seconds, and GPT-5.6 Sol took 32.85 seconds. Those times come from one API request per model, so they should not be treated as a universal speed benchmark.
The best AI math solver is the one that gets the answer right, shows a method you can audit, follows the requested format, and checks for hidden conditions. That is why our test included ordinary algebra, a geometry word problem, multi-step percentages, an extraneous-root trap, and calculus—not just easy final-answer questions.
How We Tested the Best AI Math Solvers
We tested the newest relevant models available through the same approved API connection: GPT-5.6 Sol, Claude Opus 5, and Gemini 3.6 Flash. The current model names were checked against the available API catalog and the providers’ current pages for GPT-5.6, Claude Opus 5, y Gemini 3,6 Flash.
Each model received the same system instruction and the same five questions in one request. We did not supply a temperature or model-specific sampling setting. Every answer had to include steps, a final answer, and verification. No web search or external math tool was requested.

Veredicto: all three models tied on mathematical correctness and verification in this test. Gemini 3.6 Flash was the fastest by a small margin over Claude Opus 5. GPT-5.6 Sol produced the most spacious, highly structured answer, but it was slower in this single run. Do not turn these three latency numbers into a general speed ranking without repeated tests.

### Steps
Given
\[
x+y=11,\qquad xy=24.
\]
Use
\[
x^2+y^2=(x+y)^2-2xy.
\]
Thus
\[
x^2+y^2=11^2-2(24)=121-48=73.
\]
To identify \(x\) and \(y\), they must be the roots of
\[
t^2-(x+y)t+xy=0,
\]
so
\[
t^2-11t+24=0.
\]
Factoring:
\[
(t-3)(t-8)=0.
\]
Hence the two values are \(3\) and \(8\).
### Final answer
\[
\boxed{x^2+y^2=73},\qquad \boxed{\{x,y\}=\{3,8\}}.
\]
### Verification
\[
3+8=11,\qquad 3\cdot 8=24,
\]
and
\[
3^2+8^2=9+64=73.

Steps:
1. Use the algebraic identity $x^2 + y^2 = (x + y)^2 - 2xy$.
2. Substitute the given values $x + y = 11$ and $xy = 24$:
$$x^2 + y^2 = 11^2 - 2(24) = 121 - 48 = 73$$
3. To find $x$ and $y$, construct the quadratic equation whose roots are $x$ and $y$:
$$t^2 - (x+y)t + xy = 0 \implies t^2 - 11t + 24 = 0$$
4. Factor the quadratic equation:
$$(t - 3)(t - 8) = 0 \implies t = 3 \text{ or } t = 8$$
Final answer:
$x^2 + y^2 = 73$; Unordered pair $\{x, y\} = \{3, 8\}$.

Response time: 32.85 seconds for the full five-question request.
Real model output: Full response for this test item, not an edited excerpt.
▶ Show full model output− Hide model output
### Steps
Let the positive side lengths be \(a\) and \(b\).
The perimeter is \(34\) cm:
\[
2(a+b)=34,
\]
so
\[
a+b=17.
\]
The diagonal is \(13\) cm, so by the Pythagorean theorem,
\[
a^2+b^2=13^2=169.
\]
Using
\[
(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab,
\]
we obtain
\[
17^2=169+2ab.
\]
Therefore,
\[
289=169+2ab,
\]
\[
2ab=120,
\]
\[
ab=60.
\]
The side lengths are roots of
\[
t^2-17t+60=0.
\]
Factoring:
\[
(t-5)(t-12)=0.
\]
Thus the side lengths are \(5\) cm and \(12\) cm. The area is
\[
A=ab=60\text{ cm}^2.
\]
The dimensions are determined because their sum and product are fixed. The quadratic has exactly the two positive roots \(5\) and \(12\), which give the same rectangle up to interchanging length and width.
### Final answer
\[
\boxed{\text{Side lengths: }5\text{ cm and }12\text{ cm}}
\]
\[
\boxed{\text{Area: }60\text{ cm}^2}
\]
### Verification
Perimeter:
\[
2(5+12)=2(17)=34\text{ cm}.
\]
Diagonal:
\[
\sqrt{5^2+12^2}=\sqrt{25+144}=\sqrt{169}=13\text{ cm}.
\]
Area:
\[
5\cdot 12=60\text{ cm}^2.

▶ Show full model output− Hide model output
Steps
- Let sides be a, b > 0. Perimeter: 2(a+b) = 34 �?? a + b = 17.
- Diagonal (Pythagoras): a² + b² = 169.
- 2ab = (a+b)² �?? (a²+b²) = 289 �?? 169 = 120 �?? ab = 60.
- a, b are roots of t² �?? 17t + 60 = 0 = (t �?? 5)(t �?? 12).
Final answer
Sides 5 cm and 12 cm; area 60 cm².
Verification
2(5+12) = 34 �??, 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13² �??, area = 60 �??.
Why determined: the two conditions fix the sum and product of the side lengths, and a monic quadratic is uniquely determined by its sum and product of roots. Discriminant 289 �?? 240 = 49 > 0 gives two positive roots, which are the same rectangle up to relabeling a and b �?? so the dimensions are unique as an unordered pair.

▶ Show full model output− Hide model output
Steps:
1. Let the side lengths be $a > 0$ and $b > 0$.
2. The perimeter equation is $2(a + b) = 34 \implies a + b = 17$.
3. By the Pythagorean theorem, the diagonal gives $a^2 + b^2 = 13^2 = 169$.
4. Use $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab$:
$$17^2 = 169 + 2ab \implies 289 = 169 + 2ab \implies 2ab = 120 \implies ab = 60$$
5. The area is $A = ab = 60\text{ cm}^2$.
6. Side lengths $a$ and $b$ are the positive roots of $t^2 - 17t + 60 = 0$:
$$(t - 5)(t - 12) = 0 \implies t = 5 \text{ or } t = 12$$
7. **Why dimensions are determined:** The perimeter and diagonal uniquely fix both the sum $(a+b = 17)$ and product $(ab = 60)$ of the positive side lengths. A system specifying the sum and product of two numbers uniquely defines the set of roots of a quadratic polynomial, giving a unique pair of side lengths up to order.
Final answer:
Side lengths: $5\text{ cm}$ and $12\text{ cm}$; Area: $60\text{ cm}^2$. The dimensions are determined because perimeter and diagonal uniquely fix the sum and product of the adjacent side lengths, leading to a unique positive quadratic solution set.
Verification:
Perimeter: $2(5 + 12) = 34\text{ cm}$. Diagonal: $\sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{25 + 144} = \sqrt{169} = 13\text{ cm}$. Area: $5 \times 12 = 60\text{ cm}^2$.
Group takeaway: All three models formed a+b=17 and a²+b²=169, derived ab=60, found 5 and 12, and checked the perimeter and diagonal.

Response time: 32.85 seconds for the full five-question request.
Real model output: Full response for this test item, not an edited excerpt.
▶ Show full model output− Hide model output
### Steps
Let the original cost be \(C\).
A \(25\%\) markup multiplies the cost by
\[
1+0.25=1.25.
\]
The marked price is therefore
\[
1.25C.
\]
A \(20\%\) discount means the customer pays \(80\%\) of the marked price:
\[
0.80(1.25C)=120.
\]
Since
\[
0.80\cdot 1.25=1,
\]
the equation becomes
\[
C=120.
\]
The paid price equals the original cost, so the net percentage change is
\[
\frac{120-120}{120}\cdot 100\%=0\%.
\]
### Final answer
\[
\boxed{\text{Original cost}=\$120}
\]
\[
\boxed{\text{Net percentage change}=0\%}
\]
### Verification
A \(25\%\) markup on \(\$120\) gives
\[
120(1.25)=\$150.
\]
A \(20\%\) discount on \(\$150\) gives
\[
150(0.80)=\$120.
\]
Thus the paid price is exactly equal to the original cost.

Steps:
1. Let $C > 0$ be the original cost in dollars.
2. Markup of 25%: Marked price $M = C \times (1 + 0.25) = 1.25C$.
3. Discount of 20% on marked price: Paid price $P = M \times (1 - 0.20) = 1.25C \times 0.80 = 1.00C$.
4. Set $P = \$120$:
$$1.00C = 120 \implies C = \$120$$
5. Net percentage change from cost to paid price:
$$\text{Net Change \%} = \frac{P - C}{C} \times 100\% = \frac{120 - 120}{120} \times 100\% = 0\%$$
Final answer:
Original cost: $\$120$; Net percentage change: $0\%$.
Verification:
Markup: $\$120 \times 1.25 = \$150$. Discount: $\$150 \times 0.80 = \$120$. Paid price matches $\$120$, and cost equals paid price ($0\%$ net change).

▶ Show full model output− Hide model output
### Steps
Solve
\[
\sqrt{x+6}=x
\]
over the real numbers.
Because a square root is nonnegative, the right-hand side must satisfy
\[
x\ge 0.
\]
Also, the radicand requires \(x+6\ge 0\), which is automatically satisfied when \(x\ge 0\).
Square both sides:
\[
x+6=x^2.
\]
Rearrange:
\[
x^2-x-6=0.
\]
Factor:
\[
(x-3)(x+2)=0.
\]
The candidates are
\[
x=3\quad\text{or}\quad x=-2.
\]
Both candidates must be checked in the original equation because squaring can introduce extraneous solutions.
For \(x=3\):
\[
\sqrt{3+6}=\sqrt9=3,
\]
so \(x=3\) is valid.
For \(x=-2\):
\[
\sqrt{-2+6}=\sqrt4=2\ne -2,
\]
so \(x=-2\) is invalid. It fails because the principal square root is always nonnegative, while the proposed right-hand side is negative.
### Final answer
\[
\boxed{x=3}
\]
### Verification
Substitution into the original equation gives
\[
\sqrt{3+6}=3,
\]
\[
3=3.
\]
The rejected candidate \(x=-2\) gives \(2=-2\), which is false.

1. Equation: $\sqrt{x + 6} = x$.
2. Domain/Condition Restrictions:
- Radicand non-negative: $x + 6 \ge 0 \implies x \ge -6$.
- Principal square root non-negative: $\sqrt{x + 6} \ge 0 \implies x \ge 0$.
- Combined domain restriction: $x \ge 0$.
3. Square both sides:
$$x + 6 = x^2 \implies x^2 - x - 6 = 0$$
4. Factor:
$$(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0 \implies \text{Candidates: } x = 3, x = -2$$
5. Check candidates in original equation $\sqrt{x + 6} = x$:
- For $x = 3$: $\sqrt{3 + 6} = \sqrt{9} = 3$. Valid (LHS = RHS).
- For $x = -2$: $\sqrt{-2 + 6} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \neq -2$. Rejected.
6. **Reason for rejection:** The principal real square root function $\sqrt{\cdot}$ always yields a non-negative real value ($\sqrt{4} = +2$). Since the right side is $-2$, the equation $2 = -2$ is false. $x = -2$ is an extraneous solution introduced by squaring.
Final answer:
$x = 3$.
Verification:
LHS at $x = 3$: $\sqrt{3 + 6} = \sqrt{9} = 3 = \text{RHS}$.
LHS at $x = -2$: $\sqrt{-2 + 6} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \neq -2 = \text{RHS}$.
Group takeaway: All three models stated the nonnegative restriction, checked both candidates, and rejected −2 in the original equation. This supports the reliability conclusion.

### Steps
Evaluate
\[
\int 2x e^{x^2}\,dx.
\]
Use \(u\)-substitution:
\[
u=x^2.
\]
Then
\[
du=2x\,dx.
\]
Therefore,
\[
\int 2x e^{x^2}\,dx=\int e^u\,du.
\]
Integrating:
\[
\int e^u\,du=e^u+C.
\]
Substitute \(u=x^2\):
\[
e^{x^2}+C.
\]
This antiderivative is valid for all real \(x\).
### Final answer
\[
\boxed{\int 2x e^{x^2}\,dx=e^{x^2}+C}
\]
### Verification
Differentiate the result using the chain rule:
\[
\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{x^2}+C\right)
=e^{x^2}\cdot 2x
=2x e^{x^2}.
\]
This matches the original integrand.

Steps:
1. Evaluate $\int 2x e^{x^2} \, dx$ over domain $x \in (-\infty, \infty)$.
2. Name of substitution: $u$-substitution with $u = x^2$.
3. Compute differential: $du = 2x \, dx$.
4. Substitute into integral:
$$\int 2x e^{x^2} \, dx = \int e^u \, du = e^u + C$$
5. Back-substitute $u = x^2$:
$$e^{x^2} + C$$
Final answer:
$e^{x^2} + C$ (Substitution: $u = x^2$)
Verification:
Differentiate the result with respect to $x$ using the chain rule:
$$\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{x^2} + C\right) = e^{x^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) + 0 = 2x e^{x^2}$$
This recovers the original integrand.
Group takeaway: All three models named u=x², integrated e^u, restored x², and differentiated the result back to the original integrand.

Which AI Math Solver Should You Choose?
Choose GPT-5.6 Sol for highly structured worked solutions
GPT-5.6 Sol gave the longest and most explicitly segmented answer in this run. It is a good fit when you want every transformation, condition, and verification written out. It was the slowest of the three in this single request, so speed-sensitive users should test it on their own workload.
Choose Claude Opus 5 for concise but rigorous explanations
Claude Opus 5 reached every correct answer with compact reasoning and strong condition checks. Its API response was close to Gemini’s latency in this run. A capture-encoding artifact affected a few mathematical symbols in the saved raw response; the underlying steps and answers remained clear and correct.
Choose Gemini 3.6 Flash for fast, complete responses
Gemini 3.6 Flash was the fastest model in this one-run comparison and still included all required verification. That makes it a practical first choice for quick checks, but the 0.44-second lead over Claude is too small to treat as a permanent speed advantage.
