Derivative Function Demo by John Stenger
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates how to dynamically construct the derivative function of a given function using geometric tools. It involves core concepts like derivatives, tangents, and coordinate geometry. GeoGebra commands and objects such as Point, Circle, Tangent, Intersect, Polygon, and Textfield are used in the construction. Suitable for high school and above students to understand the concept of derivatives in calculus.
