Try to Graph the Derivative Function

Author:

This applets lets you try to construct a graph of the derivative of a random function. Raise or lower the points to indicate the derivative of the function at that point.
The checkboxes will let you:
  • Connect the points of the constructed derivative with a smooth curve
  • Show tangent segments on the original curve from the proposed derivative
  • Show the graph of the actual derivative.
A button lets you choose a new random function. the accuracy reading goes up to 100. This applet is based on one produced by Marc Renault.
