This applet provides students with the opportunity to compare a function to it's derivative function.
As you explore through this applet answer the following questions:
When f(x) is increasing is the derivative positive or negative?
Likewise, when f(x) is decreasing is the derivative positive or negative?
Where does f'(x) intercept the x-axis at the minimums and maximums of f(x)?
