heres the same thing on desmos, my favorite free graphing calculator https://www.desmos.com/calculator/lvespenn07

Desmos is the best thing ever! I'm certain I would not have passed Calc without it. I always struggled with math and put it off till the last year of grad school (funny enough, you can get into grad school for CS without it).

I only ended up doing calc because with it work could pay me ~$20k more.

Nice but, completely off-topic, how is it possible that with uBlock Origin and behind Pi-Hole I get two banners on the right? This is the first place that I remember where it happens!

For me, the 2 banners are related to Wolfram Alpha. Possibly generated from the backend directly, so there's no ad network involved, which can be blocked.

They are content serve directly by Wolfram Alpha.

There are some pretty aggressive rules in some blocklists. I had to disable one to read about an Aggregated Discovery Service because it just looks for /ads/ in the URL and decides to block it.
