Description

Draw a graph of any function and see graphs of its derivative and integral. Don't forget to use the magnify/demagnify controls on the y-axis to adjust the scale.

Sample Learning Goals

  • Given a function sketch, the derivative, or integral curves
  • Use the language of calculus to discuss motion
  • Explain what the effect of a discontinuity in a function has on the derivative and the integral curves
  • Explain the difference between smooth versus piecewise continuous function curve
  • Be able to describe in words with illustrations what the derivative and integral functions are.
  • Students generalize the idea of a graph [F(x) vs x] or [x(t) vs t] can represent the same thing.
