Differentiation

This application visualizes the derivative of a function.

Mark the checkbox 'Secant' to draw the secant through the points A and B
Use the scrollbar number two at the bottom of the simulation window
to move the point B closer and closer to point A.
Look how Δy/Δx comes closer and closer to the value of y'

Mark the checkbox 'Line' to see deltaX and deltaY
v Mark the checboxes 'Graph Derivative' and 'LineH'
to study the graph of the derivative function in more detail.
