This example demonstrates how to draw the derivative of a function interactively. By dynamically adjusting points on the function graph, the concept of derivatives can be visually represented. The core mathematical concepts involved include derivatives, slopes, and function graphs. The construction highlights the use of GeoGebra commands and objects such as Tangent, Slope, Textfield, and Derivative. It is suitable for high school students learning calculus.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Tangent(P, f) → b
  2. Slope(b) → m
  3. Textfield(f) → inputBox1
  4. Derivative(f) → g
