AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a function graph and select two points A and B on the x-axis. Connect A and B to the corresponding points C and D on the function graph, forming segments AC and BD. Then, connect C and D to form segment CD. Next, calculate the first derivative f' and the second derivative f'' of the function, and represent them with segments. Finally, connect C to E and E to D to form segments CE and ED.
