Illustrating Differentiation - By Robin Scheffel
How to use this applet:Enter a formula into the textfield and press 'ok'. The formula can contain digits, '+' and '-', and 'x' (lower case).Notes on the maths used in the applet:In order to answer these questions, differentiation is a tool to calculate the actual speed of your car and its accelleration. If x^2 describes the distance driven per second, then its derivative 2x would describe the accelleration.Other useful information: example: 4x^3 - 2x + 1
