This example demonstrates the relationship between the graph of a trigonometric function and its derivative. Key mathematical concepts include trigonometric functions, derivatives, and coordinate geometry. Using GeoGebra commands such as Derivative, Tangent, and Line, the graph of a trigonometric function and its tangent lines are constructed to observe the geometric meaning of the derivative. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Derivative(f) → f'
  2. Segment(C, B) → g

  4. Line(C, xAxis) → i
  5. Intersect(h, i) → D
  6. Segment(C, D) → j
  7. Segment(D, B) → k
  8. Tangent(A, f) → l
