Use a graphing calculator to verify that the derivative of a constant is zero, as follows. Define y1 to be a constant (such as y1 = 5) and then use NDERIV to define y2 to be the derivative of y1. Then graph the two functions together on an appropriate window and use TRACE to observe that the derivative y2 is zero (graphed as a line along the x-axis), showing that the derivative of a constant is zero.
