Calculus

At first, you have to make sure Math mode is active on Maple Soft.

I want to introduce how to make a ball on the graph.

f := plot(f(x), interval of x): animate(ball, [x,f(x)], x = interval, frames = number, background = f, scaling=constrained)
f(x) is a function of x and frames determined the speed of the animation.
You can also change your ball's direction by changing your interval.

Here is the example. 
f := plot(x^2, x = -10 .. 10); animate(ball, [x, x^2], x = -10 .. 10, frames = 50, background = f, scaling = constrained)
If you want to make the ball move right to left, put 10 ..-10 instead of -10 ..10.
