This example demonstrates the derivative of the sine function, visually showing that the derivative of sine is cosine. It involves core mathematical concepts such as derivatives, sine function, and cosine function. The construction uses GeoGebra commands like Point, Tangent, and Slope, along with objects like f (function), A (point), g (function), m (slope), and B (point). It is suitable for high school mathematics education, helping students intuitively understand the geometric meaning of derivatives and the properties of trigonometric functions.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(f) → A
  2. Tangent(A, f) → g
  3. Slope(g) → m
