This example demonstrates how to plot a sine function and its tangent at a specific point using GeoGebra, along with calculating the derivative at that point. Core math concepts include sine function, derivative, tangent slope, and differential calculus. Constructed using GeoGebra commands/objects like Point, Tangent, and Slope. Suitable for high school calculus education to visually understand the geometric meaning of derivatives and the physical significance of tangents.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

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