AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a function curve representing bird flight energy consumption. Locate the minimum point of this function within the x-range from 0 to 15. From this minimum point, draw a segment to a moving point on the curve. From that moving point, draw a ray to a fixed point. Also plot the derivative curve of the function)Skip the derivative curve with a horizontal line, marking their intersection points. Connect two of these intersection points with a segment, and place a moving point on this segment. From this moving point, draw a segment to the fixed point. The whole figure shows the energy function, its derivative, key intersection points, and connecting segments, illustrating the optimization process.
