The formula is presented as the exact algebraic counterpart to the graphical observations. It matches the standard power-rule pattern for monomials—multiplying by the exponent and reducing the exponent by one—and perfectly fits the symmetric, U-shaped distribution of the seven manually estimated tangent slopes.
Conditions: Valid for on all real .; No proof of the general power rule is provided within the segment itself.
