This example demonstrates the orthoptic of a parabola, involving the geometric properties of parabolas and the concept of derivatives in calculus. By drawing the parabola, tangents, and angles, the formation of the orthoptic can be observed. The commands used in GeoGebra include Point, Tangent, and Angle. Suitable for high school mathematics education and students learning calculus.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(f) → A
  2. Tangent(A, c) → g, h
  3. Angle(g, h) → α
