Why would you though? Differentiating by hand is not difficult at all, and graphing a curve and its derivative is a really good way to teach what a derivative actually is. Integration is harder, obviously, and it is a pain point for sure. Even the idea that an integral is the area under the curve is clearly not trivial to students. But I don’t see a clear benefit trying to avoid integration. Integration is more difficult, so it should be pointed out as such, but then it’s still really useful to know how to do it…
