This worksheet shows the derivative of various functions. Note that "sine" and "|x|" refers to the function type, not the exact function.
Derivative: shows the derivative of the function
Tangent: hit Play to see the tangent line to the graph as a particle moves along the function
Each function can be used to simulate a position function and it's velocity function:
Trace Velocity: hit Play to trace the velocity of a particle as it moves along the function
Trace Position: hit Play to trace the position of the particle as it moves along the function
