The following passage is an excerpt from a textbook on mathematics. Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with rates of change and accumulation. It is divided into two main branches: differential calculus and integral calculus. Differential calculus focuses on the concept of the derivative, which measures the instantaneous rate of change of a function at a given point. Geometrically, the derivative of a function at a point is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point. The derivative of a function f(x) is denoted f'(x) or df/dx. Common differentiation rules include the power rule (the derivative of xⁿ is nxⁿ⁻¹), the product rule (the derivative of fg is f'g + fg'), the quotient rule (the derivative of f/g is (f'g - fg')/g²), and the chain rule (the derivative of f(g(x)) is f'(g(x)) · g'(x)). Integral calculus, on the other hand, deals with the concept of the integral, which represents the accumulation of quantities. The definite integral of a function over an interval represents the area under the curve of the function between the endpoints of that interval. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus connects differential and integral calculus by showing that differentiation and integration are inverse operations: the derivative of the integral of a function is the original function, and vice versa. This theorem is essential for evaluating definite integrals using antiderivatives. According to the passage, what does the derivative of a function represent geometrically?
