- Derivative
Drag the point along the graph by moving the slider. Observe how the values of g(a), g'(a), and g''(a) change. Here are some questions you can ask:
- What is the graph doing when g'(a) is positive? Negative? Zero?
- What is the graph doing when g''(a) is positive? Negative? Zero?
- Are there points where all three values are positive? What about just two? What about one? Or none?
