Taught by MrRutter
Looking at, using, and drawing graphs of functions to think about derivatives.
  • What does f'(x) mean?
  • What is f prime of x?
  • What does dy/dx mean?
  • What does d(f(x))/dx mean?
  • How do you draw the derivative graph of a function?
  • Where is the value of the derivative of a function 0?
  • Why is the graph of the derivative of a cubic function a parabola?
  • How do you know if the values of the graph of the derivative of a function are positive or negative?
This is a great tutorial on how to draw the graph of the derivative of a function by looking at the original function. The concept of the slope of the original function determining values of the derivative graph is explained in a detailed example.
