This example demonstrates how to plot functions and their derivatives using GeoGebra and identify the graphical characteristics of derivatives. It involves core math concepts like derivatives, cubic functions, statistical characteristics, arithmetic mean, plane figures, and continuity. The construction uses GeoGebra commands/objects: f (function), f' (first derivative), f'' (second derivative), g (auxiliary function), h (auxiliary function), a (parameter), b (parameter), d (parameter), text1 (text), p (point), e (ellipse), c (circle). Suitable for university calculus courses as guided practice.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. f(x) = cos(2 * x) - x + 3
  2. f'(x) = f'(x)
  3. f''(x) = f''(x)
  4. g(x) = -f(x)
  5. h(x) = 4 - f(x)
  6. Boolean a(true)
  7. Boolean b(true)
  8. Boolean d(true)
  9. p(x) = -f'(x)
  10. Boolean e(true)
  11. Boolean c(true)

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Plot a function and its first and second derivatives, along with two auxiliary functions, label the values of three parameters, mark the extrema of the function, and add an ellipse and a circle for decoration.
