The original idea for creating this applet comes from [url=https://www.geogebra.org/stevephelps]Steve Phelps[/url]' [url=https://www.geogebra.org/m/WVGxwKKn]Graph the Line[/url] applet. [br] [br][b]Directions:[/b][br][color=#000000]1) Examine the equation shown on the right side of the screen. [/color][br]2) [b]Reposition the 2 big points so that the line is the graph of the displayed equation. [br][/b]3) Click the "Check Answer" checkbox to check. [br][b] [color=#ff00ff]If you're correct, the app will inform you.[/color] [br][/b][b] If you're not, you'll know this as well. [/b][color=#000000][br] If you're not correct, keep trying until you position the gray line correctly.[br][br][/color]4) After correctly graphing the line, click the "Generate New Line" button.

[color=#0000ff][b]Students:[/b][/color][br][br]Use the limit definition of a derivative to find the derivatives of the functions given to you at the beginning of class. Use this applet ONLY for the sole purpose of checking each result afterwards.[br][br][color=#9900ff][b]Be sure to DRAG THE WHITE POINT around as well! [/b][/color] (This should help you better understand the relationship between the graph of the original function and the graph of its derivative function.)
