Area under Curve: The user can use the "Area Under Curve" tool to visualize the area under a curve. The user can drag a
scrubber to specify the limits of integration. The simulation then calculates and displays the area under the selected
scrubber to specify the upper bound of integration. The simulation then calculates and displays the area under the selected
portion of the curve and the value of the definite integral that represents the area.

Overall, the Calculus Grapher simulation is a powerful tool for students to explore and visualize concepts in calculus,
and to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between functions and their derivatives and integrals.
