This example graphically demonstrates the derivative of an implicit function. It covers the concept of the derivative of an implicit function and involves key mathematical concepts such as implicit functions and derivatives. The construction uses GeoGebra commands like ImplicitCurve, Point, Circle, and Zip. Suitable for high school mathematics education, particularly in calculus.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Textfield(f) → InputBox1
  2. ImplicitCurve(f(x, y)) → graph
  3. Point(graph) → P
  4. Circle(P, r) → circle
  5. Zip(Line[P, Q], Q, intersections) → secants
