Simple functions of one variable can be graphed in three ways:

  • Typing  and then the equation

    Typing the equation

  • Typing  and then the equation

  • Mathinline
    body--uriencoded--x%5e2

  • Typing

    Mathinline
    bodyy=
    and then the equation
    Mathinline
    body--uriencoded--x%5e3

  • Typing

    Mathinline
    bodyf(x)=
    and then the equation
    Mathinline
    body--uriencoded--\frac%7Bx%5e2%7D%7B7%7D

Functions can be hidden from the graph by clicking the colored circle to the left of their equation.

Functions can be functions of other functions. For example:

...

  • Mathinline
    body--uriencoded-- f(x)=
    x^{2}}{\displaystyle
    x%5e%7B2%7D

  • Mathinline
    bodyg(x)=f(x+1)
    }

Functions can be graphed with x in terms of y: {\displaystyle x={\sqrt {1-y^{2}}}}

...

Functions can be of multiple variables. For example, {\displaystyle

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--g(a,b)=
a^{2}+b} and {\displaystyle
a%5e%7B2%7D+b
and 
Mathinline
body h(a)=g(a,3)
}
.

Parametric Equations

In Desmos you can graph parametric equations. The standard form of this is {\displaystyle (f(t),g(t))}. For example, {\displaystyle (sin(2t),cos(3t))}. It is necessary to use the variable {\displaystyle t} in order for the equation to be interpreted as a parametric equation.
