This example demonstrates the derivative of the sine function y=sin(x), including its graph and geometric interpretation. Key math concepts involved are derivatives, tangent slopes, and trigonometric properties. Construction highlights using GeoGebra commands like Point, Derivative, Tangent, Slope, and objects such as f (function), A (point), h (segment), b (segment), m (slope), B (point). Suitable for high school calculus instruction to visually understand the definition and geometric representation of derivatives.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(f) → A
  2. Derivative(f) → h
  3. Tangent(A, f) → b
  4. Slope(b) → m
