AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a function graph and illustrate the geometric meaning of its derivative. First, plot the original function curve, then take a point on the curve, draw the tangent line at that point, and calculate its slope. Next, find the corresponding derivative value on the function graph based on the slope and draw a line segment connecting the original point and the derivative value. Additionally, draw a series of magnified and reduced transformations passing through the origin, as well as some auxiliary circles and vectors, to demonstrate the geometric transformations of the function and the properties of derivatives.
