This example illustrates the meaning of a derivative by plotting a function and its tangent line, showing how the derivative represents the instantaneous rate of change of the function at a point. Key mathematical concepts include derivatives and tangent slopes. It uses GeoGebra commands such as Point, Line, Tangent, and Slope. Suitable for high school and above students learning calculus.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(f) → A
  2. Line(A, C) → g
  3. Tangent(B, f) → i
  4. Slope(g) → m
  5. Slope(i) → m_1
