This example demonstrates the calculation and graphical changes of derivatives for trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent. It involves core math concepts including derivative definition, trigonometric properties, and chain rule. GeoGebra commands such as Derivative, RotateText, Slider, and Locus are used to dynamically display functions and their derivatives with annotations. Suitable for high school and introductory college students learning calculus and trigonometric functions to visually understand the geometric meaning of derivatives.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Derivative(f) → f'
  2. RotateText(text1, 35°) → text2
  3. RotateText(text3, -40°) → text4
  4. Derivative(g) → g'
  5. RotateText(text7, 35°) → text8
  6. Derivative(h) → h'
  7. RotateText(text6, 85°) → text9
