This example demonstrates the projectile motion of a basketball, applying derivatives. The highest point of the ball can be calculated using derivatives, and physical formulas can also be derived. It uses GeoGebra commands such as Point, Tangent, and Slope for construction. Suitable for high school math education, helping students understand the application of derivatives in real-world problems.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(C) → Sy
  2. Tangent(Sy, C) → d
  3. Slope(d) → m
