Tangent Line: The Limit Process of Secant to Tangent

2020-04-22 16:09
This applet dynamically demonstrates the process of a secant line gradually approaching and transforming into a tangent line, visually illustrating the geometric meaning of the derivative in calculus. By dragging points or adjusting parameters, users can observe the changes in the slope of the secant line, gaining a deeper understanding of the tangent line as the limit of secant lines.
