### Drawing derivative functions
If the slope of a tangent is:
- positive/negative, that value on the derivative graph is also positive/negative, respectively
- zero, that value on the derivative graph is on the x-axis
Points of inflection on the original function become maximum/minimum points on the derivative graph.
The derivative of a linear equation is always constant, and the derivative of a constant value is $0$..
### Derivative rules ### Derivative rules
These rules can be used in place of/to supplement finding derivative functions using first principles and are usually much faster to calculate.
The degree of a derivative is always the degree of the original function$-1$. The degree of a derivative is always the degree of the original function$-1$.
The **power rule** applies to all functions of the form $f(x)=x^n,x \in \mathbb{R}$, such that: The **power rule** applies to all functions of the form $f(x)=x^n,x \in \mathbb{R}$, such that:
