This example demonstrates how to use the derivative (tangent line) to approximate a function near a known value. It involves core math concepts like derivatives, tangent lines, and function approximation. Constructed using GeoGebra commands/objects such as Polynomial, Point, Tangent, Segment. Suitable for high school and above learning calculus and function approximation.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polynomial({A, B, C, D, E, F, G}) → f
  2. Point(xAxis) → H
  3. Tangent(I, f) → a
  4. Segment(I, K) → b
  5. Segment(K, J) → c
