Type the low end of the horizontal range you want to plot in cell A1. For example, to plot a graph from -2 to 2, type "-2" in A1 (omitting quotation marks here and throughout all steps).

Its derivative (slope) instantly becomes a finite (and constant) value, again portrayed in the lower graph. Next, the function continues to increase, but at a lesser rate (its slope still has a finite ...

The slope function (derivative) is then traced out in blue. Can you identify the graph of the derivative? This is a Java Applet created using GeoGebra from www.geogebra.org - it looks like you don't ...

Here is a very quick introduction to derivatives to get you through your first physics course. Skip ... it doesn't matter what two points I pick on the graph. I will always get a slope of 2.5 m ...
