AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a function curve, then place five arbitrary points on it. Use these five points to construct a conic section (such as an ellipse or parabola) and mark its focus. Also, shade the area under the curve between x=0 and x=1 to represent the integral. Show how the focus changes with the curve's shape, emphasizing the geometric properties and coordinate relationships of the conic.
