Adjust sliders to observe changes in the derivative of a polynomial. This example illustrates the relationship between a polynomial function and its derivative, involving the concept of derivatives. It uses GeoGebra objects such as polynomials, derivatives, and text.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Numeric a(-0.2)
  2. Numeric b(0.2)
  3. Numeric c(0.5)
  4. Numeric d(0.8)
  5. Numeric e(2.1)
  6. f(x) = (a * x^(4)) + (b * x^(3)) + (c * x^(2)) + (d * x) + e
  7. f'(x) = f'(x)
