This example visually demonstrates the concept of a derivative without any textual explanation. It involves key mathematical concepts such as derivatives and tangent functions. Using GeoGebra commands like Textfield, Point, Intersect, Slope, Segment, etc., dynamic geometric figures are constructed. Suitable for high school mathematics, particularly calculus courses.
