Derivative Exploration

The sketch provides a polynomial and sinusoid with the ability to drag a point and see the value of the slope of the tangent line at the point. The point is traced. The functions are dynamic and can be controlled via slider. Two types of functions are available via checkbox, cubic function and generic sinusoidal function.
