Graph the derivative of a function to observe the monotonicity. [br][br]Explore the construction and learn how to create an applet for exploring the monotony with respect to the derivative of a function with [i]Graphing [/i]in [i][url=https://www.geogebra.org/calculator][i]GeoGebra Calculator Suite[/i][/url][/i]. Then try it yourself by following the instructions below.
