1. Visualizing the Power Rule
Type f(x) = x^2 in the first box.
Then type f'(x) in the second box.
Notice how the derivative of a parabola is a straight line passing through the origin.
2. Oscillating Rates of Change
Type f(x) = \sin(x).
Then graph its derivative f'(x).
Observe how the blue curve crosses the x-axis exactly where the red curve peaks!
