This example demonstrates how to sketch the derivative of a function. Key math concepts include derivatives, straight lines, cosine, confidence intervals, integers, and vectors. Construction highlights the use of GeoGebra commands like Textfield, Derivative, Intersect, and objects such as f, InputBox1, f', a, p, g, A, B, P. Suitable for high school or introductory college calculus and coordinate geometry students.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Textfield(f) → InputBox1
  2. Derivative(f) → f'
  3. Intersect(f', g, (0, 1)) → A
  4. Intersect(f, g, (0, 0)) → B
