Derivative of y= x^2Move the red dot on the parabola and the gradient function (a linear function) is graphed below it. Very neat. From Manipula Maths. This applet also draws the graph of the 2nd derivative.
Derivative of Sine and Cosine FunctionsMove the red dot on the trig function and the graph of the gradient function is shown below. Very neat! From Manipula Maths. This applet also shows the graph of the 2nd derivative.
SurfingA man is riding on the surf. We set f(x) as the curve of the wave . Observe the slope of the surfbord. The trace of the slope is the derivative of f(x). From Manipula Maths.
