The calculus struggle is real! On the left, we have the proper derivative of x1 worked out step-by-step with the power rule: d/dx(x) = 1·x1-1 = 1·x0 = 1·1 = 1. Meanwhile, on the right, labeled "MY DUMB MIND," is the shortcut version where the brain just crosses out the x's like they're canceling each other, magically arriving at the correct answer of 1 through completely wrong math. It's that beautiful moment when your terrible methodology somehow produces the right result and you're just standing there like "I'll take it!" The universe rewards the mathematically challenged sometimes.
