The following chapter doesn't need to be observed entirely, but it is handy when you need to prove your differentiation, and don't have a zoomed in graph ready. Hopefully this will include any function you need, but if it doesn't, please either add a comment or message me directly.

We'll start off with one of the simplest function, which has been proved graphically in the previous chapter. x squared.

Here's x cubed

And x to the power of n. This one literally took over an hour to write in LaTeX.

Taking a step back into linear equations (mx+c), here is a proof that m is the gradient of the equation

And finally, here is a proof of the differentiation of a constant. Fairly simple.

Just letting you know, I am currently in the process of "upgrading" this book, incorporating many different types of mathematics, from counting to geometry to Calculus to topology, and beyond
