This image shows the derivative at various points as the slope of a tangent line. When the derivative is positive, the line is green. When the derivative is negative, the line is red. When it is zero, the line is black.
A tangent line is a line which touches a function without crossing it at a specific point.

I wish there were animated gifs like this when I was taking calculus!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is first derivative in math, and velocity in physics .
ReplyDelete+Corina Marinescu can you get an animation of 2nd derivative/acceleration ?
