This example illustrates the relationship between derivatives and the slope of tangents. The key mathematical concept is derivatives. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Tangent, Circle, Intersect, Segment, and Vector, the function graph and its tangents are constructed. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(f) → A
  2. Tangent(A, f) → c
  3. Circle(A, 1.5) → d
  4. Intersect(d, c, 1) → C
  5. Intersect(d, c, 2) → D
  6. Segment(C, D) → e
  7. Vector(A, D) → u
  8. Vector(A, C) → v
  9. Textfield(f) → InputBox1
