NDerivative Command

NDerivative( <Function> )

Plots the 1st derivative of the given function, calculated numerically.

NDerivative(x^4+2x^3-2x+1) plots in Graphics View the graph of the function f(x) = 4x³ + 6x² - 2, which is the first derivative of the given function. However, the equation of the plotted function is not shown in Algebra View.

NDerivative( <Function>, <Order n> )

Plots the nth derivative of the given function, calculated numerically.
