AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw the graph of a function and its derivative to approximate the roots using Newton's Method. Start by plotting the function f, then calculate its derivative g. Find the intersection of f and g to use as the initial point for iteration, aiming to find the root of f. Use input boxes to enter the function expression and the initial x-value, and observe the iteration process.
