Using Desmos to find Derivatives
Desmos is an advanced graphing calculator that allows you to plug in any funciton and visualize it across an x and y coordinate plan. Desmos can be used to visualize a function and it's derivative. A derivative is the rate of change of a function with respects to a specific variable. The power rule is a way to calculate a function's derivative. Following the power rule, the power, or exponent, comes out front of the variable, and then reduces by one.
