Differentiation

Content


Differentiation

This calculates the nth derivative of f and the value of the derivative at x_0. It will also generate a tangent line at a specific point.

Make sure that your function is in terms of x and that the ‘Order of Derivtive’ is a positive integer

Plot of the Derivative

This will plot a side by side comparison of a function and its derivative.

Tangent Line Plot

This will illustrate the relationship between the derivative and the tangent line.

Implicit Differentiation

This will differentiation an implicitly defined equation and find the second derivative.

Set the equation equal to zero before it is put into the widget

Rate of Change and Concavity Intervals

This will show the intervals on which the function is positve vs. negative, increasing vs. decreasing, or concave up vs. concave down.
