1.2 Try to graph the derivative function

Applet explorations
[b]1)[/b] Drag the points up and down on the coordinate plane to graph the derivative of the given function – you are given f(x), now plot f’(x).[br][br][b]2)[/b] How does the previous activity help you with this? Consider again what the derivative function means.[br][br][b]3)[/b] Are any points of the original function easier to estimate than others? Try starting with these first before filling in the rest.[br][br][b]4)[/b] Check your answer and refresh the page (or click reset) to change the graph when you are happy with your sketch. How accurate can you get?[br][br][b]Summarise any key points at the bottom of the page.[/b]
