![]() I also encountered some cosmetic errors, for example, because the rational expression in my star never reealy does have a zero, there was a gap between the sides, which I ended up filling with a point, and it ended up looking pretty nice. I also tried to use as few constant graphs as possible, and whenever I could, I used a high degree polynomial to draw 3 lines, but Desmos didn’t seem to like degrees too high, so the corners are slightly rounded, but I still think it was a good use of the function. Because desmos will only let you use inequalities when equating to y, I got around it by defining my function, but not graphing it, then adding the restrictions in a separate line, for example: y>f(x). Desmos also doesn’t let you set more than one constant at a time, for example y= should draw 2 lines, but does nothing. One thing I discovered Desmos does let you do, however, is set a restriction on a function defined by itself, so for example, you can shade in a function and apply a restriction that lets the shading keep its curve. Another disappointing thing about Desmos is the syntax for things like domain/range constraints, Desmos does not support commas, so if you want to apply a restriction to both x and y, you have to use 2 separate clauses. Because I knew I was going to use a lot of circles in my graph, which are implicit relations with y not isolated, I wanted to solve for y and get 2 solutions so that I could use as many transformations as possible, a tool I found helpful to test graphs and solve is Wolfram Alpha, which allows you to copy Desmos’ functions in and returns solutions. To start off my graphing project, I wanted to cover all of the required functions first so that I could mess around after, looking back, I really shouldn’t’ve worried about that, because I ended up using every function except log more than once, and log was already reserved for my logs in the fireplace joke, so I was safe there too.Īs I was adding my functions, I realised how time-consuming it was to type in the same number over and over for the transformations of similar functions, so I solved this by making a few constants that all my functions could use, that way I only needed to adjust the translation relative to the object I was making (if constant was 10 for example, 11 would be c+1). When I first heard about this project, I already had a picture of what my card was going to be in my head, I have made ‘artistic’ graphs in Desmos before, so I already knew all of Desmos’s features, and it’s drawbacks too. ![]()
