Step 1: Begin by understanding the concept of differentiation. Differentiation is the process of finding the rate of change of a function with respect to its variable. It is a fundamental concept in Calculus.
Step 2: Review the definition of a derivative. The derivative of a function represents the slope of the tangent line to the curve of the function at any given point. This is a key property of differentiation.
Step 3: Analyze the statement 'The derivative of x^2 is 2x.' This is an example of applying differentiation rules, specifically the power rule, which states that if f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = n*x^(n-1).
Step 4: Examine the statement 'Integration is the process of finding the area under a curve.' This statement is not related to differentiation but rather to integration, which is the reverse process of differentiation and focuses on summing infinitesimal quantities.
Step 5: Conclude that the statement 'Integration is the process of finding the area under a curve' is not related to differentiation, as it pertains to a different concept in Calculus.
