This example uses GeoGebra to explore the roots of a cubic equation. Key mathematical concepts include complex numbers and derivatives. The construction involves using b, c, and d as coefficients of the cubic equation, constructing the cubic function f, and displaying the roots using z_1, z_2, and z_3. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
